<div><br><div class="gmail_quote">It would be fabulous if there were a way to fix this once and for all to everyone's satisfaction. However, it's tricky, because there are many different variables involved: the interactions among which are not always immediately obvious. If somebody has a brilliant patch that can fix that issue without breaking existing projects' use cases of CPack, feel free to attach it to the bug and let me know....</div>

The documentation for install() is clear, an absolute path (e.g.<br>
'/usr/lib') is used directly and relative path (e.g. 'lib') is<br>
prefixed by CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. Another thing to note is that 'make<br>
DESTDIR=foo install' *always* works as expected!<br>
<br>
However, the relation between install() and CPack is unclear<br>
<br>
- For some files I accidentally had an absolute install path, and<br>
during 'make package' these files got installed in the file system and<br>
they were left out of the RPM. I naively assumed that the RPM builder<br>
would use DESTDIR to control where things end up, but I must be wrong.<br>
Is this a bug?<br>
<br>
- The variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is not used at all during RPM<br>
building. CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is /usr/local, but files get put into<br>
/usr in the RPM. Is this a bug?<br>
