            <div>I don't know why @ was inserted, but here's why it
              overrides the absolute path: because it has no special
              meaning. The path then becomes "@/sbin", which is not an
              absolute path (doesn't start with '/'), so the install
              prefix is prepended normally. Bear in mind that Unix
              directory and file names can contain any characters except
              '/' and NUL.<br>

            ${var} is the normal way to expand variables.<br>

          @var@ is primarily intended for use with configure_file(). I
          believe it works during normal CMake runs as well, but don't
          use it like that, it will only add confusion.<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>
