On install I would need cmake to portably create some empty directories that do not exist in the source. INSTALL(DIRECTORY...) just copies an existent structure in my case that structure does not exists. I know I could probably search for some external mkdir command and use it but then I would have to think of any possible platform and try to find the command for that platform and also worry about whatever parameters it wants. cmake already has logic to create directories in a platform independent way used by the various INSTALL(...) commands, it would be nice if there was a way to use it to create some arbitrary directories on install (their path of course it still respects CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and such).

To solve this in automake I just created some dummy "<stuff>_dir" variables that automake interpreted and created those empty directories on install. I would like to know if there is something similar for cmake, thank you!

You could try assembling the empty directory structure with

FILE(MAKE_DIRECTORY ${foo_BINARY_DIR}/path)

and install that.
