[CMake] Install without building unittests

[Scott Bloom]

Just a note, for google later on… 😊

The default appears to have the variable unset, so it doesn’t show up in the list of variables in ccmake or the cmake-gui.

I also added it to my system before any INSTALL command was called.  I don’t know if that is necessary, but it does work

SET( CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_ALL_DEPENDENCY TRUE )

Thanks again!

That is really not what we want..  We simply don’t want the Install target to have a dependency on the unittests.  Essentially, the Install target should be have the same as the test target.

If you to a make test, or from VS, on RUN_TESTS, RMB->Build, it doesn’t build the tests if they are out of date (or non-existant)

I was under the impression that the global INSTALL target is only dependent on the ALL target unless you turn off the dependency.
