Workaround

VST3Inspector is placed in public.sdk\sample. So I expected that setting SMTG_ADD_VST3_HOSTING_SAMPLES to FALSE disables the build, but it didn't. As a workaround, I changed first condition of public.sdk\samples\vst-hosting\inspectorapp\CMakeLists.txt as following.

if(TARGET vstgui AND TARGET vstgui_standalone AND SMTG_ADD_VST3_HOSTING_SAMPLES)
