CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_PREP_TARGETS ------------------------------- .. versionadded:: 4.5 Do not generate ``install_prep/`` and ``install_prep/all`` build targets. When this variable is set to a true value, CMake does not generate the preparation targets that build the known prerequisites of a subsequent component-specific or full installation, even when using a generator that supports them. See :ref:`Install Preparation Targets`. The preparation targets are also not generated if the project has no install rules or :variable:`CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RULES` is enabled. Set this variable in the top-level directory. It is off by default, in which case the preparation targets are generated.
