Summary

0004993: "make package" fails to work for absolute INSTALL DESTINATIONs

Description

The result (on Unix systems) is a compressed tarball of NULL characters.

A fix that works for PLplot is to apply the following patch (suggested on list) to the CMake source code:

--- cmCPackGenericGenerator.cxx_original 2007-01-12
11:41:24.000000000 -0800
+++ cmCPackGenericGenerator.cxx 2007-01-12 11:41:50.000000000 -0800
@@ -164,7 +164,7 @@
     return 0;
     }

- bool movable = true;
+ bool movable = false;
   if ( movable )
     {
     // Make sure there is no destdir

I am not sure of the full implications of this fix, but it does work for PLplot so my vote would be to go ahead and make this change.
