CMake lacks install target

[BwL1289]

Platform:
Aarch64 Linux

Problem description:
When trying to compile from source using CMake and Ninja, I see the following error:

30.90 ninja: error: unknown target 'install'

It seems CMake lacks an install target.

Have tried manually installing libs, its symlinks, and headers automatically but to no avail.

Here's an example of how AWS implemented this for their C SDK.

This is likely an extension of #1048.

@morgolock any chance to make this a priority?

@morgolock following up again. Can you please let me know if the team plans to fix this?

[morgolock]

Hi @BwL1289

The following patch will solve the problem. This fix will be present in v24.11

Hope this helps

[BwL1289]

@morgolock thank you.

[BwL1289]

@morgolock please reopen this issue. It looks like you guys forgot to merge the patch into 24.11: https://github.com/ARM-software/ComputeLibrary/blob/v24.11/CMakeLists.txt#L335. The patch you mentioned is not present.

[BwL1289]

FWIW, I forked this repo and implemented the change manually. I can confirm it works. I opened a PR: #1151

Hi @BwL1289

Apologies for the confusion, I've reopened the issue.

We cannot merge the PR on github unfortunately, we only publish a snapshot of the main dev repo on github and if we merge a PR it will go out of sync with the release branch in the dev repo.

Apologies for the confusion. This patch will be present in our next release 24.11.1.
