[CMake] CMake/CPack: empty packages

[Hilton Medeiros]

Hello,

I believe you just need to change your install command like this:

install(TARGETS cmakehello01 DESTINATION share/bin)

CMake uses a CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX (default /usr/local) to install so
you should not put full paths in the install command.

Cheers,
Hilton
