No rule to make target install

[JohanMabille]

When trying ot install the package as explained in the README, I have the following error:

make: *** No rule to make target 'install'.  Stop.

I try to build and install in a conda environment with the following command:

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$CONDA_PREFIX -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$CONDA_PREFIX $SRC_DIR -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib

The following fails the same way:

cmake $SRC_DIR

I cannot find a reason that would prevent CPack to generate the install command in the Makefile.

I have this experience too. I do not know the reason either, but also determined that v2.9 still works, and that there was a CMakeLists.txt update to change the install behavior after that tag. The commit actually looks fine to me, so I really don't know what is the specific problem.

So a temporary workaround is to revert to v2.9.

@JohnGalbraith Thank you for mentioning the break happened after v2.9. That was the hint I needed.

He did a check on CMakeLists, so he needs to enable this argument for cmake. The command to generate the Makefile should actually be:
cmake -DARGPARSE_BUILD_SAMPLES=on -DARGPARSE_BUILD_TESTS=on -DARGPARSE_INSTALL=on ..

@terroo thanks!
