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

[Scott Aron Bloom]

I use google test, which can output XML/Junit style (we have another reporting system, so junit isn't necessary)..

However, what "Cmake" rules do you use to have to have the test dependent on the output file, and not the running of the test?

I have setup our unit tests to output a junit report, and the junit report is what is in the all target.  Thus my unit tests don't run on a make install if they have run during the original make. If anything was rebuilt during the make install only the affected tests are run.

This of course depends on your test framework having the ability to create an output file.  (but there are enough useful things to do from a junit output that I suggest you should refuse a framework that doesn't)

For those who couldn't understand my jibberish.. I apologize, never send email from a phone...

Ill restate...

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.

Is that a possibility?  Ie, add the exclude from all attribute, that is really an exclude from install?
