Hi. I try to write installation steps for my application. I need create some folders and copy some files to this folders. I use next commands: install(TARGETS myApp DESTINATION . PERMISSIONS WORLD_READ WORLD_WRITE WORLD_EXECUTE) install(FILES myFile DESTINATION myfolder) I have troubles with permissions of directories which were created during my application installation. Command `make install` should be executed with root privileges because I need to copy some libraries to /usr/lib/. But in this case all necessary folders also will be created with root permissions and my application can't create any files in this folders if it was executed without root privileges. For example folder from CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable also created with root privileges. And myApp try to create some log files in this directory and it failed because it hasn't necessary privileges. Have you any advance?
It appears from your comments above that you are trying to install some files in the system hierarchy (/usr/lib) and some files in some directory (probably in /home/SomeUserName) which is normally writeable by a user account. The mixture of root and user account file installs is not recommended since it violates the FHS standards (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard and links from there). Most Linux distributions follow the FHS so often you can figure out where files should be installed by looking at what your distribution does for similar files. Once your installation conforms to the FHS, then all you have to do to make it completely installable in a user account (with no root access needed) is to change the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX option for cmake.
