Thanks for the reply. I tried both alternatives --with and without invoking the preinstall target-- and noticed that if the cmake configuration is out of date, and needs to be regenerated, then executing only cmake -DCOMPONENT=foo -P cmake_install.cmake won't trigger a run of cmake + make before the installation takes place. Since invoking make install _does_ run cmake + make if necessary, I prefer to have the same behavior and do make preinstall && cmake -DCOMPONENT=foo -P cmake_install.cmake I'm using cmake 2.6.3 > > I tried it and it works, but I find it somewhat complicated for frequent > > use.
