You'll want to put those execute_process calls inside an install(CODE ...)
command, otherwise you install update the MIME database when configuring. E.g:
install(CODE "
execute_process(COMMAND ${XDG-MIME_EXECUTABLE} install
--novendor basket.xml)
execute_process(COMMAND ${XDG-DESKTOP-MENU_EXECUTABLE} install
--novendor basket.desktop)
execute_process(COMMAND ${XDG-MIME_EXECUTABLE} default basket.desktop
application/x-basket-item)"
)
