IFSbench is not CMake-installable

[reuterbal]

What happened?

IFSbench can be downloaded and installed into a virtual environment as a build-action via CMake. However, it cannot be installed to an installation path.

What are the steps to reproduce the bug?

git clone https://github.com/ecmwf-ifs/ifsbench
cmake -S ifsbench -B build
cmake --build build
cmake --install build --prefix install_dir

This creates a virtual environment in the build directory but does not actually make ifsbench available in the install_dir:

$ tree install_dir/
install_dir/
├── include
└── lib64
    └── cmake
        └── ifsbench
            ├── ifsbench-config.cmake
            └── ifsbench-config-version.cmake
