[CMake] Windows NSIS installer shared libraries

[Leek, Jim]

Geez, all I have to do it this for each library (mars is a library) and it just works:

  install (TARGETS mars
    RUNTIME DESTINATION bin
    LIBRARY DESTINATION lib
    ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib)

That's much better than what I was doing before:

if(UNIX)
  install (TARGETS metis DESTINATION lib)
else(UNIX)
  install (TARGETS metis DESTINATION bin)
endif(UNIX)

Ack, something about this list confuses gmail and it always goes to the poster instead of the list apologies.

I don't think you need the if(NOT UNIX) stuff... IIRC windows runtime dll's (not the import libraries) are treated as runtimes, so they would automatically go in with the binaries, so the OP just needs to make sure a runtime destination is set.

Thanks,
