[Cmake] "make install" fails - new release of CMake?

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi Hans,

Looked a little more into this and the problem is the fact that you are
using msys as Unix environment. CMake installed files to /usr/local as
you asked it. That would be c:/usr/local and not what looks like
/usr/local from MSys, which is in reality c:/msys/1.0.

I would go even further to say that /usr/local is just as good place to
install things on windows as any. 

So, it is up to you to say, well, I would like this program to go to
c:/msys/1.0/local.
