I naively tried to install some globbed files using, e.g.,
install( CODE "file(GLOB USER_DOCS ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/doc/user/html/*) \n install(FILES ${USER_DOCS} ${docdir}/html/user/html)" ) But on Debian stable with cmake-2.4.6, "make install" complains with the following error message: CMake Error: Error in cmake code at /home/software/lasi_svn/HEAD/build_dir/cmake_install.cmake:34: Command INSTALL not scriptable Can somebody please document which commands are scriptable and which are not inside the install command? For example, is it only the install command that cannot be nested this way? Now I have looked at other projects and I inferred from them the following syntax which works: install( CODE " file(GLOB USER_DOCS ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/doc/user/html/*) \n file(INSTALL DESTINATION ${docdir}/html/user/html TYPE FILE FILES \${USER_DOCS} )" ) However, the file(INSTALL... signature is completely undocumented! So one burning question is whether this is a leftover from some old release or something that is really supported for the future that I can rely on. Furthermore, I have no clue why the $ in ${USER_DOCS} has to be escaped, but the other "$" within the file commands do not. So all this seems very much like magic to me in the absence of documentation. Could somebody please rectify that lack of documentation for the "file(INSTALL" signature?
