Can you provide an install target on top level CMakelists.txt

[Petross404]

Hello and well done on your excellent and hard work. I find this cmake module very usefull and I want to install it system-wide on my Gentoo with an ebuild. Perphaps pimp the ebuild into the Portage tree.

But the ebuild failed in install phase with this:

OUTPUT(tests/whence elf64-x86-64)
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.1.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: total time in link: 0.143828

 *   environment, line 2183:  Called cmake-utils_src_install
 *   environment, line  974:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *       DESTDIR="${D}" ${CMAKE_MAKEFILE_GENERATOR} install "$@" || die "died running ${CMAKE_MAKEFILE_GENERATOR} install";
 * 

So, could you provide an install target for the module and/or the examples? Thank you very much.

It's nice that a vcpkg port is available but would be nicer if that wasn't the only option.

Looks like the pull request which added the install target was just left open for almost a year with no feedback or resolution before the submitter gave up so that doesn't look promising for this feature.
