Hi!
Can you configure cmake to perform an install automatically?
Today, when we generate a VC-project we get an INSTALL target which
installs the program when explicitly built. But when we execute a
"build solution", the install target is not run. The following message
is given:
3>------ Skipped Build: Project: INSTALL, Configuration: Debug Win32
------
3>Project not selected to build for this solution configuration
How can we get the INSTALL target to run on the "build solution" event?
I don't have an answer. I thought I'd comment that being able to treat
the "install" target as a first class target would be useful for cases
like this. If that was available, one could simply do
ADD_DEPENDENCIES(all install). I wanted to use "install" as a
dependency for some post-installation events, like running the
chicken-setup I'd just installed, and then installing a bunch of chicken
"eggs" with that. I couldn't do it in the straightforward way because
"install" isn't a first class dependency target. In fact, doing so
caused CMake 2.4.3 to crash. The crash got fixed for 2.4.4 though.
