CMAKE_INSTALL_DEFAULT_COMPONENT_NAME — CMake 4.4.20260621-gcc70e9e-dirty Documentation

# CMAKE_INSTALL_DEFAULT_COMPONENT_NAME

Default component used in `install()` commands.

If an `install()` command is used without the `COMPONENT` argument, these files will be grouped into a default component. The name of this default install component will be taken from this variable. It defaults to `Unspecified`.

There is a special component name:

`<PROJECT_NAME>`

  Added in version 4.4.

  This literal placeholder will expand to the contents of the `PROJECT_NAME` variable when the `install()` command is evaluated. If no `project()` command has been called it defaults to `Unspecified`.
