I think CPACK_INSTALLED_DIRECTORIES should contains a list of "pairs" first element being tne name of the directory to be installed and the second being the relative path in th toplevel install directory. And yes the CPack documentation is scarce in many places, contributions (embedded documentation patches, new/update of Wiki) are welcome. for example the documentation of "CPACK_INSTALLED_DIRECTORIES" is embedded in "Modules/CPack.cmake" you may propose a patch for that. > I would be glad to share some working examples, in case we have a place to > post such examples. Sharing example is good and may be done in Wiki page (http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake#CPack) or could be added as a CPack testcase in the CMake source tree too.
