[CMake] How to fetch exit status of INSTALL(CODE ...)

[Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin]

Hi Marcel,

Aware I won't be answering your question regarding the exit code associated
with INSTALL(CODE ...), I still would like to suggest you an approach that
could help you addressing your issue.

What about byte-compiling the python source at build time ? In that case,
the build step would fail instead ...

You could look at macro like this one to help you: See
