[CMake] HOW TO: build development versions, plus proper INSTALL setup?

[Michael Jackson]

The other items in your list looks like you have figured out so I'll  
just make a suggestion for #3:

I tried the following and it does work:


# All the following in its own CMakeLists.txt file that
# will be called with add_subdirectory() from the top level
# CMakeLists.txt file.
project(UnitTests)
add_executable(foo_test foo_test.c)
target_link_Libraries(foo_test ...... )
set_target_properties(foo_test PROPERTIES
		RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${UnitTests_BINARY_DIR})
add_test(foo_test ${UnitTests_BINARY_DIR}/foo_test)


If you can wade through the Boost sources there is an experimental  
CMake build system that I believe does a lot of this. You could  
probably distill all of this down to a Macro that you could invoke to  
do all of the above with just a few arguments.

Hope that helps.
