[CMake] unit tests include in "all" but not install

[Scott Aron Bloom]

And here is the ironic part..

Make test, does NOT have a dependency to build all the tests...

YET, make install does :(

Personally, I want it the other way around, where make test, at least has each tests executable as a dependency, and makes sure they are not out of date before run...

But make install, should just build the things being installed and THEIR dependencies, NOT the ALL dependency.

I run make test separately ..   I just don't want it to go through the dependency check for thr 600 unit tests..

"In general, I want all my unit tests to be built when I do a make
all, but I really don't care if they are up to date for a make
install."

Are you sure you don't care? If your unit tests are out-of-date with
respect to what you are installing, and you have not run them against
what you are installing .... then how do you have confidence that what
you are installing is acceptable?

Just sayin'...
