[CMake] EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL

[Dawit Alemayehu]

Hello,

I posted a question about the use of EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL directive in 
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY a couple of days ago, but got no response ; so I thought I 
give it a try again. I searched everywhere including the bug reports but i 
could not find anything on this issue. The closest report I came across is is 
this one:

http://www.vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=5799.

What I am trying to do is prevent a directory from being built by default, 
i.e. when one issues make all or make install. And as I understand it from 
the documentation the intent of EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL parameter/directive in 
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY is intended for just such purpose. However, no matter what I 
tried I cannot prevent the subdirectory I specified with that directive from 
being built by default. At least when I issue a "make install".

I am using cmake 2.4.7 and just for convenience here is a reference to the 
CMakeLists.txt file from my previous post:
