</div>It would be nice if CMake created component-wise install targets. E.g. it would be very nice to have:<br>
<br>
make install-man<br>
make install-bin<br>
make install-shlibs<br>
make install-dev<br>
<br>
While this is only syntactic sugar, it would be so much more intuitive than running the cmake_install.cmake script with the appropriate arguments. Also, AFAIK this isn't mentioned anywhere in the docs, only in the wiki.<br>
