Let us take an example of a project that has some tests in a component
that need to be installed into a dedicated test package. The user
expectation is that the result could be achieved by typing the
following:
make
make tests
make install
DESTDIR=/testpkgs make install-tests
However this results in test components in the default installation as
well as the testpkg.
Add an EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL option to the install() command to tell it that
the installation rule should not be included unless its component is
explicitly specified for installation.
In code such as
install(TARGETS ...
INCLUDES DESTINATION $<FOO>include
)
the generator expressions are evaluated at generate-time. Delay
determining whether each entry is a relative path until after
the generator expressions are evaluated. Such relative paths
are based relative to the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
Export the INCLUDES DESTINATION without appending to the
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES of the target itself. That way, a target
can be exported multiple times with different INCLUDES DESTINATION
without unintended cross-pollution of export sets.
Since commit 7ced0732 (make default install component name configurable,
2012-05-13) the COMPONENT option has not worked in all cases. The
change restored use of the broken SetDefaultString previously removed by
commit 43cad3e4 (fix the default "Unspecified" component, 2008-03-26).
Remove SetDefaultString and use the default component name only when an
invocation does not specify a non-empty COMPONENT option value.

Until now an unnamed component was always named "Unspecified".
Now this name is taken from the new cmake variable CMAKE_INSTALL_DEFAULT_COMPONENT_NAME,
which is initialized to "Unspecified". But it can now be set to something
project-specific, per directory

This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
RUNTIME, ARCHIVE, LIBRARY, etc.) arguments are given.
If the component of a part of a target is queried, return the specific one,
if a specific one hasn't been set, return the generic one, if that hasn't
been set, return "Unspecified".

- Add NAMELINK_ONLY and NAMELINK_SKIP to INSTALL command
- Options select a \"namelink\" mode
- cmInstallTargetGenerator selects files/link based on mode
- See bug #4419
- Created cmExportFileGenerator hierarchy to implement export file generation
- Installed exports use per-config import files loaded by a central one.
- Include soname of shared libraries in import information
- Renamed PREFIX to NAMESPACE in INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands
- Move addition of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to destinations to install generators
- Import files compute the installation prefix relative to their location when loaded
- Add mapping of importer configurations to importee configurations
- Rename IMPORT targets to IMPORTED targets to distinguish from windows import libraries
- Scope IMPORTED targets within directories to isolate them
- Place all properties created by import files in the IMPORTED namespace
- Document INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands.
- Document IMPORTED signature of add_executable and add_library
- Enable finding of imported targets in cmComputeLinkDepends
