[CMake] How to install files produced by custom targets
Hello, Considering that I have a custom target that outputs some libraries and these libraries were built using configure+make. The custom library is based on autotools. Configure + make are executed by a custom command in the custom target. Is it possible to add a CMake install rule that will execute 'make install' on my custom library? So that the install process is automatically handled. I'm asking that because at the moment I'm finding very hard to install a custom library only with classical CMake install rules, because I cannot know in advance the names of all the outputs because they have suffixes depending on the library version. And I would prefer to avoid hardcoding these versions, so that I can easily update my library.

Hi Lucas,
you could look into install(CODE ...) or its escaping-hell-avoiding
brother, install(SCRIPT ...). The code/script could then be something like
execute_process(COMMAND make install ...) or perhaps even
execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL} install ...).

Re: [CMake] How to install files produced by custom targets
I just wanted to point out the existence of CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL, as it's
related. In your case, however, you're probably better off hardcoding
'make'. It should actually be done the same way you run 'make' in your
custom command creating the library.

Hi Petr,
I guess execute_process() with CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL depends on whether the
target build tool supports install ? Will that work when installing from
Visual Studio for example?
I need a solution that works both on Windows and Unixes :/
I'll have a look a install(SCRIPT …).
Thanks!
