Summary

0014329: COMPONENT ignored when appearing after DESTINATION's

Description

It seems that unlike what the documentation suggests the position of the "COMPONENT" part of an install() command is not arbitrary. The attached project shows that the generated cmake_install.cmake file has the 'Unspecified' component set for the 'foo' target, but the expected 'applications' component set for the 'bar' target.

The only difference between both is that the 'bar' target has COMPONENT before the various DESTINATION entries and 'foo' has COMPONENT after them.

I tried CMake 2.8.11.2, 2.8.10 and 2.8.8 and all of them show the same incorrect (IMO) behaviour.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Run cmake on the attached minimal example
2. Inspect cmake_install.cmake and verify the components used for the 'foo' and 'bar' targets respectively

Notes
(0033640) Andreas Pakulat (reporter) 2013-07-31 17:12	Well, as just pointed out on the CMake mailinglist, my testcase is indeed incorrect. Unfortunately the docs do not make this clear but COMPONENT belongs to each individual DESTINATION, which actually makes sense. Interestingly specifying COMPONENT before the various DESTINATION's does seem to make it apply to all of them. So I guess this is a 'works as intended', though I think it would be good to better mark the groups in the docs.
