Brief Issue Summary
Normally when building a project all we need is to create a CMake Configure preset and hit the
Build
button in the Status bar and we get the result. But sometimes it is necessary to also install the project to a location to get a meaningful running build.In the case of the
Libc++
library since recently to get to a proper result when using it with Visual Studio Code (this is a one possible use case) it is necessary to create a CMake configure preset, set the install directory (e.g. "installDir"), setup an install task:execute that install task to get the built right where it is needed.
Can we have this automated? Next to the
Build
button in the status bar - anInstall
button that performs the build, and install tasks automatically without the manual setup? This seems a common enough use case so it can be a VS CMake Tools feature, can it be done?I'd consider this an extension to this already implemented feature: #532
