Hi Stefan,
one solution I can think about is overwriting the install() command
before you traverse into these subdirectories and restoring the
default CMake behavior afterwards, i.e., something like
# overwrite install() command with a dummy macro that is a nop
macro (install)
endmacro ()
# configure build system for external libraries
add_subdirectory(external)
# replace install macro by one which simply invokes the CMake
install() function with the given arguments
macro (install)
_install(${ARGV})
endmacro(install)
# configure build system of project own sources including installation rules
add_subdirectory(src)
