Re: [CMake] [CPack] Avoiding packaging (some) dependencies

[Drago Trusk]

Thank you for your answer!

I was afraid there was no other option.
Problem is that "Ignorable" is a transient dependency of a target which I
need (both don't specify components) and therefore both are somewhat out of
my control, but I guess modification to them will be necessary.

I wasn't aware of REMOVE_ITEM CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL and hint is much
appreciated (though sadly I cannot use it). Good to know ;)

I think the second option should be ok and not that complicated.
Put the "Ignorable" in an "IgnoredComp" install component and remove this
component from the list of installed components.

get_cmake_property(CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL COMPONENTS)
list(REMOVE_ITEM CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL """)

see: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.11/module/CPackComponent.html

AFAIR you don't need to defined a component for every install because CPack
already does that for you.
I think that every bits installed without component specification ends-up
in the trap-them-all
"Unspecified" component which is automatically created by CPack.

see:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.11/variable/CMAKE_INSTALL_DEFAULT_COMPONENT_NAME.html

Another way to do that even more simply (**if you are sure no component are
defined**)
would be to:

1) install ignorable in "IgnoredComp" component
2) let all other be in your default component
set(CMAKE_INSTALL_DEFAULT_COMPONENT_NAME "InstallThatOnly")
3) only install your default component
set(CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL "InstallThatOnly")
