Hi,
I have a project which uses git submodules to manage it's dependencies.
Right now we want to add a installer to it, problem we have is that some of
the dependencies have their own "install" directives. Is there a way to
ignore a project install command?
Long version case it is unclear:
main project
submodule - has a install directive
myCode - actual code, links statically to submodule above
I would like to only issue the install of myCode. is there a way to tell
cmake or cpack to ignore "submodule" install directives?
Hi Tiago:
You could brute force it by surrounding each install directive in
submodule by
if(INSTALL_SUBMODULE)
....
endif(INSTALL_SUBMODULE)
Then add
option(INSTALL_SUBMODULE, "Install submodule?" OFF)
to your top-level CMakeLists.txt file.
Then because of that OFF, by default users would not install
submodule, but if users desired that install, they could specify the
-DINSTALL_SUBMODULE=ON option on the cmake command line. Or you could
choose to default to ON.
Note, I have characterized the above as brute force, but in fact the
method is completely flexible, and most mature CMake projects use this
kind of option-based method a lot.
