Barring any better suggestions from more experienced CMaketeers, I would probably look into creating a function that adds a post build step to a project which will perform the installation of the project. Then doing a build all would cause each project to individually build and install, and building a single subproject would cause that subproject to build and install (thus solving 1 and 2 together). That doesn’t seem ideal (certainly, I wouldn’t want my build to automatically install all the time, which is probably why the INSTALL project is excluded by default.). Depending on what you are doing, you might want that auto install behavior to only be tied to a “Release” build, or possibly introduce and “Release and Install” that does both.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#7F7F7F'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#7F7F7F'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#666666'>Aaron Meadows</span></b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#666666'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#7F7F7F'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> <a href="mailto:cmake-bounces@cmake.org">cmake-bounces@cmake.org</a> <a href="mailto:[mailto:cmake-bounces@cmake.org]">[mailto:cmake-bounces@cmake.org]</a> <b>On Behalf Of </b><a href="mailto:david_bjornbak@agilent.com">david_bjornbak@agilent.com</a><br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, February 07, 2012 1:48 PM<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:cmake@cmake.org">cmake@cmake.org</a><br><b>Subject:</b> [CMake] Under Visual Studio , allow developers to hit "F7" to run the INSTALL target<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Developers on our team have found issues with the difference between “INSTALL” and the default build or “F7” build all under Visual Studio.
