[cmake-developers] [PATCH] add install_local target

[Alexander Neundorf]

Hi,

Thomas complains that on "make install" cmake at first completes "make all" 
and then starts to install ( http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132072 ).
So he has to wait quite long until stuff gets installed.
The directory structure is like:

somelib/
somelib/plugin1/
somelib/plugin2/
someapp_using_somelib/

One could argue that the directory layout is broken. 
Anyway, there are two ways to make install start earlier:
-don't start to install after "all" has finished, but in for every subdir 
after that subdir has been built. The problem with this is that the 
cmake_install.cmake scripts are not suited for this type of operation.

-add a target install_local which doesn't execute the cmake_install.cmake 
scripts from the subdirs. Then Thomas can do "make somelib; make 
install_local" and hopefully be happy. This is what the attached patch does.

What do you think about this ?

Bye
Alex
