[CMake] Trouble with Variable in installation

[Pierre-Julien Villoud]

I reopen this topic since I have a little issue. 
The macro given by Denis works very well but my problem is that the "make install" installs by default all the components (it's in the doc). 
What I want is the "make install" to install all the necessary files but not the components and after, I call the "make component_name" to finish the installation.

To sum up : 

> make install (install headers...)
> make install-en_US (install lang files)

Is that possible ?

Thanks !

I think currently it is not possible to force anything to depend on
"install" target.

Try

MACRO(ADD_INSTALL_TARGET VAR_NAME VAR_COMPONENT VAR_DEPENDS)
  ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(${VAR_NAME}
                    COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -DCOMPONENT=${VAR_COMPONENT} -P ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/cmake_install.cmake
                    COMMENT "Performing component-specific installation"
                    VERBATIM)

  IF ( "${VAR_DEPENDS}" MATCHES "^.+$" )
    ADD_DEPENDENCIES(${VAR_NAME}  "${VAR_DEPENDS}")
  ENDIF ()
ENDMACRO ()

INSTALL( ... COMPONENT COMP_en_US)

ADD_INSTALL_TARGET(install-en_US COMP_en_US "Target1 Target2 Target3")
