Yes.

No.

No.

In the top level cmakelists.txt file I have:

SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR})

and in a lower level directory, src/lib, I have:

IF (WIN32)
    INSTALL(TARGETS Comms Runnable
            ARCHIVE DESTINATION install/win32
            LIBRARY DESTINATION install/win32
            RUNTIME DESTINATION install/win32
           )
ELSE(WIN32)
    INSTALL(TARGETS Comms Runnable
            ARCHIVE DESTINATION install/linux/lib
            LIBRARY DESTINATION install/linux/lib
            RUNTIME DESTINATION install/linux/bin
           )
ENDIF(WIN32)
