On Windows, where you have DESTDIR=C:/MyDir and an "absolute" install path of "C:/Program Files/Whatever"....<br><br>"C:/MyDir/C:/Program Files/Whatever" is probably going to make somebody a bit grumpy...<br>

</div>Sorry about being pushy but in which kind of "project"<br>
DESTDIR may not work?<br>
<br>
More preciselty which CMake command would make<br>
<br>
DESTDIR="/whatever/writeable_path" make install<br>
<br>
fail?<br>
<br>
Do you know any existing project I may look at in order to understand?<br>
<br>
At least on UNIX platform I cannot see how this could be broken?<br>
May be there is a WIN32 issue I do not see?<br>
