That is really not what we want.. We simply don’t want the Install target to have a dependency on the unittests. Essentially, the Install target should be have the same as the test target.
If you to a make test, or from VS, on RUN_TESTS, RMB->Build, it doesn’t build the tests if they are out of date (or non-existant) Scott From: Kyle Edwards <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2019 7:48 AM To: Scott Bloom <[email protected]>; [email protected] Subject: Re: [CMake] Install without building unittests You could build CMake with -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF. This will skip the unit tests altogether.

I would never release something into the wild with out running the tests… But, for developer builds, were we need to install all the packages in order to run the applications, sometimes I just want to test the GUI which requires an install of the core application into the correct location, without building the 1500+ (yes 1500) unittests, which can take 15-20 minutes to build on their own… Is there anyway to break the dependency??
