[CMake] Cpack not packaging anything

[Thomas Nilsson]

Found this: http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2008-July/022958.html

CPack can't handle absolute install paths (like /usr/local/include) unless CPACK_SET_DESTDIR is set, then it installs in the specified location and picks the files from there. Normal behaviour is to install in a temporary location by modifying the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and fetching them from there.

What's CPack's thought model for installing a package of headers and libraries from a TGZ on Unixen? That the files should go in a separate a package directory? Because that might match Windows/Macosx install models, but not Unix where they normally go in a standardized location that is already in the appropriate search paths.... Anyway to achieve this?

There is an install_manifest.txt generated which lists the correct files, but the .tgz is empty. So it seems that CPack finds the correct targets.
