install(TARGETS): Do not apply installation tweaks to NAMELINK files (!8370) · Merge requests · CMake / CMake

Brad King requested to merge brad.king/cmake:install-namelink-no-rpath into master Mar 28, 2023

These files are symlinks to the real binaries, and we already apply tweaks to those. Previously we generated installation tweak code guarded by a NOT IS_SYMLINK condition that is never true. Drop the code altogether.

Add a test covering the motivating use case, in which a POST_BUILD step modifies the namelink file to not actually be a symlink.

Fixes: #24647 (closed)
