When the testsuite is enabled, the "cmake_add_subdirectory" test adds a second copy of the project into the build configuration, and the project files are installed twice. This becomes super problematic when it tries to install a file from CMAKE_BINARY_DIR which is only available in CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR and bombs out with the following error message: ``` [...] -- Installing: <DESTDIR>/usr/lib/cmake/nlohmann_json/nlohmann_jsonTargets.cmake CMake Error at test/cmake_add_subdirectory/nlohmann_json/cmake_install.cmake:73 (file): file INSTALL cannot find "......./nlohmann-json/builddir/test/cmake_add_subdirectory/nlohmann_json.pc": No such file or directory. Call Stack (most recent call first): test/cmake_add_subdirectory/cmake_install.cmake:47 (include) test/cmake_install.cmake:49 (include) cmake_install.cmake:94 (include) ```
