Hi Zach,
Hmm, couple of notes:
Maybe you could create a target based on the file names. This way you
could have as many as you want.
Also, maybe you could use set/configure_file combination instead of
FILE(append).
Other than that, it looks great.

Andy,
Thanks for the tip on installing things at absolute locations.
Here's a hackish macro to do this, in case anyone needs it. (Note --
macro can only be used once per directory, and only one install path
is allowed per use. Modifications are an exercise for the reader.)
Zach
MACRO(INSTALL_AT_ABSOLUTE_PATH PATH)
# USAGE:
# INSTALL_AT_ABSOLUTE_PATH("/path/to/install" "/path/to/file1" ...
"path/to/fileN")
#
# Only use this macro once per directory -- otherwise the custom
installation
# will get overwritten.
FILE(WRITE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/CustomInstall.cmake" "")
FOREACH(file ${ARGN})
GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(filename "${file}" NAME)
STRING(REGEX REPLACE "/$" "" stripped_path "${PATH}")
FILE(APPEND "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/CustomInstall.cmake"
"MESSAGE(STATUS \"Installing ${stripped_path}/${filename}\")\n")
FILE(APPEND "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/CustomInstall.cmake"
"FILE(INSTALL DESTINATION \"${PATH}\" TYPE FILE FILES \"${file}
\")\n")
ENDFOREACH(file)
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET("${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/CustomInstall" ALL)
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES("${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/CustomInstall"
PROPERTIES
POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/
CustomInstall.cmake")
ENDMACRO(INSTALL_AT_ABSOLUTE_PATH)

Hi Zach,
There is a way to do installing using custom install script. What
you do is to create a cmake script that does whatever you want and
then set on some target a pre and/or post install script:
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(myLib PROPERTIES PRE_INSTALL_SCRIPT "$
{CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/some_pre_install.cmake"
POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/
some_post_install.cmake")
Then you can put in that file:
FILE(INSTALL DESTINATION "/etc" TYPE FILE FILES "/home/andy/
MyProject/myetc.file")

Hello again,
I'm wondering if there is any good way to have CMake install a
particular file at an absolute position in the filesystem (not
prefixed by CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX) during 'make install'.
It's clearly possible to send a file to any given location during
the configure or build step, but it's more appropriate to do this
during install, in my case.
Any thoughts? (and yes, the files do need to be at specific
positions; for example in a python site-packages directory).
Thanks,
Zach
