CMake - how to call installation commands from the top level AFTER these commands from subdirectories?

My project contains a top-level CMakeLists.txt, which has this structure:

add_subdirectory(piece1)
add_subdirectory(piece2)
# --- etc.

install(CODE "execute_process(...)")

When I do make install all the installation commands from this file are called first - and it's not good for me, cause I need to setup symlinks and to do other steps, which require presence of files in destination directories.

So, I want to tell CMake to call install commands from this file after all the install commands from all my subdirectories.

How to do that?

Just move install(CODE) into subdirectory (but add this subdirectory at the end ot the script, after others add_subdirectory calls).

I know no other ways to force CMake to execute your installation code after all others.
