CMP0082 — CMake 4.2.6 Documentation

# CMP0082

Added in version 3.14.

Install rules from `add_subdirectory()` calls are interleaved with those in caller.

CMake 3.13 and lower ran the install rules from `add_subdirectory()` after all other install rules, even if `add_subdirectory()` was called before the other install rules. CMake 3.14 and above prefer to interleave these `add_subdirectory()` install rules with the others so that they are run in the order they are declared. This policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been updated to expect the new behavior.

The `OLD` behavior for this policy is to run the install rules from `add_subdirectory()` after the other install rules. The `NEW` behavior for this policy is to run all install rules in the order they are declared.

This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.14. It may be set by `cmake_policy()` or `cmake_minimum_required()`. If it is not set, CMake does not warn by default, and uses `OLD` behavior.

See documentation of the `CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP0082` variable to control the warning.

Note

The `OLD` behavior of a policy is `deprecated by definition` and may be removed in a future version of CMake.
