Concerning install: Your target foo may be installed with install(TARGETS foo DESTINATION where/you/want) Your config file with install(FILE foo.conf DESTINATION where/you/want) Now if you want to put the foo.conf near to foo **in the build tree** **and assuming foo.conf is in the same source dir as foo sources** you may do: configure_file(foo.conf foo.conf COPYONLY) this should copy foo.conf from source tree to binary tree. It may be a problem if you usually do in-source build so you may a) rename foo.conf to foo.conf.in in the source b) do configure_file(foo.conf.in foo.conf COPYONLY) -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
