Thanks for assistance. I forgot 'reply all'. Will be better next time :-)

I don't know why @ was inserted, but here's why it overrides the
absolute path: because it has no special meaning. The path then
becomes @/sbin, which is not an absolute path (doesn't start with
'/'), so the install prefix is prepended normally. Bear in mind that
Unix directory and file names can contain any characters except '/'
and NUL.
About variable substitution:
${var} is the normal way to expand variables.
@var@ is primarily intended for use with configure_file(). I believe
it works during normal CMake runs as well, but don't use it like that,
it will only add confusion.

P.S. Please keep the list in copy when replying.

It was
set (BUILD_BIN /sbin)
Removing that fixed the problem. Thanks!
Curious why my IDE inserted the '@' (kdevelop 3) And more so why
it overrides the absolute path?
I need to discover more about value substitution :=(
@somekey@ vs ${somekey}

Hi Jeremy.
Does ${BUILD_BIN} perhaps start with a slash? If so, it would be
interpreted as an absolute path, which of course ignores
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

I am using cmake 2.8.9 on debian wheezy. I'm fairly new to
using cmake.
My CMakelists.txt file starts with
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX /home/jeremy/Projects/local/)
project(myproject)
Finishing with
INSTALL ( PROGRAMS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/@APPLICATION_NAME@
DESTINATION @${BUILD_BIN} )
which installs in my target directory, but under a tree
prefixed by the '@' character. i.e.
/home/jeremy/Projects/local/@/sbin and equivalent.
I'm guessing that this is a result of the fragment
@${BUILD_BIN}
The problem is that if I remove the '@' the INSTALL ignores
the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
I've experimented with different variations on the INSTALL
lines to no success.
Any advice on how to get my INSTALLS ending up in
/home/jeremy/Projects/local/sbin and equivalent?
Thanks
