Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am writing a script and started
working with the install command (for copying files) and it is
not working. CMake configure/generate does not show any errors
(i.e. it does not stop and no warnings/errors show related to
this command) and the command does not seem to be working
because I don't see any files being copied.  Since I am new, I
am wondering:    • How can I tell that install failed (perhaps
the source directory was wrong, or the destination directory was
wrong)? It appears to be failing silently   • Are there error
codes I can check to see what went wrong?   • Ans lastly when is
install called? When I click configure? Or when the project is
built?  I am on Windows.  share|improve this question add
