Hi all,

I've got a cmake project that builds multiple executables and shared libraries. There are option() settings that determine which of these executables are built. What I'd like to be able to do is prevent the building and installation of shared libraries that are not required. So what I did is as follows:

1. set(CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_ALL_DEPENDENCY TRUE) on the top level
   CMakeLists file
2. add_library(${SHARED_LIBRARY} SHARED EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL ...)
3. install(TARGETS ${SHARED_LIBRARY} DESTINATION ${DESTINATION} OPTIONAL)

These three settings result in the desired behaviour. However, cmake generates the following warning:

WARNING: Target "xxxx" has EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL set and will not be built by default but an install rule has been provided for it. CMake does not define behavior for this case.

 * Is this warning still valid in this specific scenario?
 * If so is there another/more correct way to achieve what I want?
 * If what I'm doing is acceptable, is there a way to suppress this
   warning?

Thank you

Dushara
