[CMake] Conditional install

[rozelak at volny.cz]

Hallo, thank you very much.
Of course, the correct sequence (alternative to 'make install') is

cmake OPTIONS path_to_CMakeLists_dir
make
cmake -D COMPONENT=dist -P cmake_install.cmake path_to_CMakeLists_dir

Now it is working for the installation.
Also thank you for the links, they are very usefull ...

Actually, I need RPM and DEB :-(.

I just thought about kind of reverse approach - to configure
what NOT TO do, and use the standard approach (make install,
make package) then; the specification of what to do in some
circumstances (using the COMPONENT) is also OK, but you must
always think twice before you start an action (install, for
example), even if you just want to a kind of 'standard' action
like install, or package (well, I mean in 'simple' cases, which
the mine is). By no means I wanted to say that
COMPONET is bad - as I read it is very powerfull ...

Thank you,
