Re: [CMake] CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX problem
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.

Re: [CMake] CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX problem
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.
