Hi, got this problem which I've boiled down to a simple test case. My source 
dir contains just one file (realfile) and the installation should install this 
in bin and make a symlink from linkfile to it. This is the CMakeLists.txt file:

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.0)

    INSTALL(FILES realfile DESTINATION bin)
    INSTALL(CODE "execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E create_symlink 
realfile ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin/linkfile)")

    include(CPack)

This works fine with make install provided I can write to 
${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}, however with make package, CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is not 
apparently set to the temporary install location that CPack is using, and so it 
fails.

Any idea how I can work around this, or a better way of doing this task? I need 
it for creating symlinks, and also another install command which generates an 
index file in the install directory.

Thanks for any help,
Martin.
