A few things to check:


   - Have you given any install() commands in your project? The message
   above seems to be suggesting nothing was installed.
   - Are you overriding the .spec file rather than using the one
   CMake/CPack creates for you? If so, can you indicate why and maybe check
   its contents. Less likely this is the main issue, but worth covering anyway.
