I'd guess that either
1. You haven't turned on the building of the tests.
	Check BUILD_TESTING is "ON" in CMake.
  or
2. your build hasn't worked.
	Check you build didn't report any errors.
	vcl_test_all should be in $VXLBIN/vcl/tests
		or if you have modified CMake's
		EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH variable,
		they'll be in there.
