[CMake] Howto install executables that aren't targets

[Winfried]

Hi Caleb,

yes, I also suppose that it's some kind of permission issue, but I don't
know how to handle it:

All other install commands work exept those that should also copy to
/usr/bin.
I also tried to install those with another order, here is that code form
subdirectory 'tools':
install( FILES  nqc
		nbc
		tuxm_aar-04_make.sh
		tuxm_asuro_make.sh
		tuxm_nxt_make.sh
		tuxm_nxtsim_make.sh
		tuxm_rcx_make.sh
		RUNTIME DESTINATION /usr/bin)

'cmake ..' runs normal without an error, but when I call CPack by executing
'make package' the error always appears when it tries to pack the first of
the above files. Here's the complete error message of the CPack part (before
it is only i18n stuff output):
Run CPack packaging tool...
/usr/bin/cpack --config ./CPackConfig.cmake

CPack: Install projects
CPack: - Run preinstall target for: TuxMinds
CPack: - Install project: TuxMinds

When I exclude subdirectory 'tools' the package is successfully built by
'make package'.

Here's the output of 'ls -la' for that directory:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 me users    1056  4. Dez 2013  tuxm_rcx_make.sh

nothing unusual as I think.

If you need some more information, please let me know...
