[CMake] error while stage install of crosscompiled binaries

Sat Jan 9 17:21:52 EST 2010

Hi all,

now I got it:

There are 3 different problems:
1.) never use an absolute DESTINATION path with INSTALL commands!
  	###XXX### INSTALL( FILES cmake/FindLibSmi.cmake DESTINATION $ 
{CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules )

2.) never use an absolute source Path!
	###XXX### INSTALL( FILES ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/libsmi.pc DESTINATION  
lib/pkgconfig )

3) never use a Windows drive letter in one of this paths as "C:/usr"
	with CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:/usr
	###XXX### INSTALL( FILES smi.conf-example DESTINATION $ 
{CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${CMAKE_SYSTEMCONFIG} )

If not, you will get problems in some cases like crosscompile:

test -d build/CMakeFiles && rm -rf build/*
cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=i386-mingw32-gcc - 
DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=i386-mingw32-g++ -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Windows .. \
     && make 2>&1 | tee ../crosscompile.log

. . . .

+ make DESTDIR=/tmp/libsmi install/local
+ tee ../temp-install.log

I hope you see that something should changed with make install.
