Step 9: Installation Commands and Concepts
==========================================
Projects need to do more than build and test their code, they need to make it
Projects need to do more than build and test their code. They need to make it
available to consumers. The layout of files in the build tree is unsuitable
for consumption by other projects, binaries are in unexpected places, header
for consumption by other projects. Binaries are in unexpected places, header
files are located far away in the source tree, and there's no clear way
to discover what targets are provided or how to use them.
This translation, moving artifacts from the source and build trees into a final
layout suitable for consumption, is known as installation. CMake supports a
complete installation workflow as part of the project description, controlling
both the layout of artifacts in the install tree, and reconstructing targets
for other CMake projects which want to consume the libraries provided by the
install tree.
