So it a fairly unique use case, but nevertheless I would like the installation location for that cmake script file to be consistent with standards (if there are any such for cmake scripts). For now I am sticking with prefix/share/project_name/cmake_scriptname for that install location, but I am willing to change if there is a more standard install location for cmake scripts. I think that's a perfectly good place, it even conforms to the places searched by find_package() in Config-mode, even if that doesn't matter in your case as I understand it.

2013/8/6 Alan W. Irwin ir...@beluga.phys.uvic.ca: I have a project that installs a CMake script which will be executed by users using cmake -P fullpath_for_cmake_scriptname. Where is a reasonable place to install cmake_scriptname? Currently I am thinking of prefix/share/project_name/cmake_scriptname but I am a bit concerned that location might be a bad choice because it is completely unpopulated under Debian (at least for CMake scriptnames that end in *.cmake), i.e., irwin@raven ls /usr/share/*/*.cmake ls: cannot access /usr/share/*/*.cmake: No such file or directory May be you should try: find /usr/share/ -name *.cmake (or use globstar bash option: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/globstar-new-bash-globbing-option $ shopt -s globstar $ ls /usr/share/**/*.cmake ) on my debian (Jessie) I get at least: /usr/share/llvm-3.4/cmake/*.cmake /usr/share/cmake/SharedDesktopOntologies/*.cmake /usr/share/cmake-2.8/... /usr/share/kde4/apps/cmake/modules/*.cmake I usually install my CMake scripts in: prefix/share/project_name/cmake_scriptname or prefix/share/project_name/scripts/cmake_scriptname -- Erk L'élection n'est pas la démocratie -- http://www.le-message.org -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
