[cmake-developers] Generator expressions for output directory/name (and install?)

[Robert Goulet]

Ok I think I got something nicely integrated now.
 
Patch in attachment.

This enable generator expressions for the target properties OUTPUT_NAME and RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, as well as the DESTINATION property of the install command.

Cheers!

While there is not a separate script for each configuration the scripts themselves do support switching on the configuration selected for installation.  For single-configuration generators they only need to have the one configuration specified by the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.  For multi-configuration generators they do get per-config code selected by conditional blocks.  Try using one of the Visual Studio or Xcode generators to see how the install scripts look.  Also try using a genex in the list of files given to the install(FILES) command.

See cmScriptGenerator.cxx for the logic that dispatches based on whether the script content is to be single or multi config.
