The correct signature of the INSTALL(FILES ...) command is INSTALL(FILES ... DESTINATION /usr/local/someplace ...) ^^^^^^^^^^^ and the manual - which you've studied thoroughly, I suppose - states: DESTINATION arguments specify the directory on disk to which a file will be installed. If a *full path* (with a leading slash or drive letter) is given it is used directly. If a relative path is given it is interpreted relative to the value of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. Besides, you can't specify the files for INSTALL(FILES ...) using the '*' and other globbing characters as they are meaningful only for the shell or specialized CMake commands like FILE(GLOB ...).
