[cmake-developers] Visual Studio Add Custom Target marked Build

[David Cole]

You can get "install_foo" to build always if you include "ALL" as an arg to
add_custom_target.

You cannot use "INSTALL" in an add_dependencies call, though. Rather, you
could list the executables that you need built *before* an install could be
successful -- that should be equivalent, but requires you to list them
explicitly. See http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=8438 for more
details.


HTH,
David
