That sounds like bad behavior in general. Software shouldn't be installin=
g
itself unless told to do so.

The CppDOM build is in pretty bad shape and hasn't ever been quite what I=

would call ideal. The installation part has never really worked correctly=
,
but I don't think I have seen this specific behavior. What I have seen is=

that running the build separately from the installation doesn't work well=
,
but the build certainly should support a two-step build+install process.
What version are you using?

What are guards in this context?
