Removing that fixed the problem. Thanks!<br>

Curious why my IDE inserted the '@' (kdevelop 3) And more so why
it overrides the absolute path?<br>
<br>
I need to discover more about value substitution :=(<br>

Does ${BUILD_BIN} perhaps start with a slash? If so, it would be
interpreted as an absolute path, which of course ignores
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.<br>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> I am using cmake
2.8.9 on debian wheezy. I'm fairly new to using cmake.<br>
<br>
My CMakelists.txt file starts with<br>
<br>
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)<br>
SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX /home/jeremy/Projects/local/)<br>
project(myproject)<br>
<br>
....<br>

Finishing with<br>
<br>
<pre>INSTALL ( PROGRAMS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/@APPLICATION_NAME@ DESTINATION @${BUILD_BIN} )</pre>
which installs in my target directory, but under a tree
prefixed by the '@' character. i.e.
/home/jeremy/Projects/local/@/sbin and equivalent.<br>
<br>
I'm guessing that this is a result of the fragment <br>
<pre>@${BUILD_BIN}
</pre>
The problem is that if I remove the '@' the INSTALL
ignores the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX<br>
<br>
I've experimented with different variations on the INSTALL
lines to no success.<br>
<br>
Any advice on how to get my INSTALLS ending up in
/home/jeremy/Projects/local/sbin and equivalent?<br>
