I don't think it's possible to add dependencies to "built-in" CMake target
(which deserve a feature request :-)

Precisely :=)

May be you can try to add a first "fake test" which does it:

ADD_TEST(00_Install ${CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL} install)

If this ADD_TEST is added in the top-level CMakeLists.txt
this should be the first test runned ?

However this will _SYSTEMATICALLY_ install before testing and not
add a "real dependency".
