Me neither. > > Perhaps others will chime in and we can get a sense of how folks weigh > in on this issue. My personal opinion is that may be the only feature I'd like would be a "real fake install" i.e. 0% installed not a possibly random X percent installed with random leftover. it could be callable like: make fake-install or check-install or ... set(CMAKE_FAKE_INSTALL 1) or ... which would check whether all need-to be installed bits are accessibles. This would basically put the file(INSTALL ...) sub-command in a mode that would only check access and print-out some informations message without moving, copying or renaming any files or directory. e.g: -- Would be Up-to-date: .../share/aclocal/cmake.m4 -- Would be Installing: ..../doc/cmake-2.8/cpack.html instead of -- Up-to-date: .../share/aclocal/cmake.m4 -- Installing: .../doc/cmake-2.8/cpack.html That said I did live without that feature until now so I bet I can live without it forever :-] -- Erk Le gouvernement représentatif n'est pas la démocratie -- http://www.le-message.org -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
