Hi all!
We have been migrating our buildsystem to CMake and are trying to use
the `install` command to deploy different parts of the software.
However `make install` also installs artifacts from our dependencies,
internal as well as 3rd party, that are unnecessary/unwanted.
Is there a native way to exclude certain subdirectories or build targets
from the install set? The only solution I could think of is to manually
add an option, e.g.:
option(${TARGET_NAME}_INSTALL on "") # on by default
if(${TARGET_NAME}_INSTALL)
install(...)
endif()
Maybe the culprit is also that we are using find_path and
add_subdirectory to add any internal dependencies we have to the build
tree - I am starting to think that this is a mistake.
I have read about ExternalProject - but I am unsure whether this is the
correct way to go about it but it does allow modification of another build.
How do you guys solve this issue, how can I define which dependencies I
want installed?
I really want to avoid writing a shellscript to filter out any unwanted
stuff.
Best Regards and thank you in advance!
Gordon
