[CMake] How to install files produced by custom targets

[Petr Kmoch]

Hi Lucas,

you could look into install(CODE ...) or its escaping-hell-avoiding
brother, install(SCRIPT ...). The code/script could then be something like
execute_process(COMMAND make install ...) or perhaps even
execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL} install ...).
