Summary: CMAKE_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION not
honored
Description:
When I set CMAKE_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION to OFF this is not
honored. I am basically trying to use it with CPack:
SET(CPACK_INSTALL_COMMANDS "cmake
-DCMAKE_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION=OFF
-DCPACK_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION=OFF -P cmake_install.cmake")
so as to overcome the very annoying fatal error:
...
ABSOLUTE path INSTALL DESTINATION forbidden (by caller): ...
Some of my install(FILES .. DESTINATION ... ) use absolute paths, but I am not
even sure why installing files with an absolute path as the install destination
would be a fatal error, if anything it should be a warning at most.
cmake_install.cmake has checks for these variables, but they are always set to
1.
Is there another way to set these variables to 0 (OFF) that works?
Is there a way to convert absolute to relative paths?
