Installing a target with the :prop_tgt:`EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` target property
set to ``TRUE`` has undefined behavior.
:command:`install(TARGETS)` can install targets that were created in
other directories. When using such cross-directory install rules, running
``make install`` (or similar) from a subdirectory will not guarantee that
targets from other directories are up-to-date. You can use
:command:`target_link_libraries` or :command:`add_dependencies`
to ensure that such out-of-directory targets are built before the
subdirectory-specific install rules are run.
The install destination given to the target install ``DESTINATION`` may
use "generator expressions" with the syntax ``$<...>``. See the
:manual:`cmake-generator-expressions(7)` manual for available expressions.
