Hello,
[cmake version 3.24.3 on Debian Bullseye]
With -DCMAKE\_INSTALL\_MESSAGE=NEVER, we can silent the following messages:
– Installing: XXX
– Up-to-date: XXX
Is there a way to silent the following ones:
– Symlinking: XXX
Greetings,

I don’t see where CMake makes such messages in the install scripts. Do you have `install(CODE)` or `install(SCRIPT)` calls that do this? If so, they’ll need to check the `CMAKE_INSTALL_MESSAGE` variable to control their behavior.

Oops, you are right. An update is required.
Thank you!
