cmake inserts compiled code into trunk folder when using relative path

[Christian Jakob]

- this works well:

cmake -DINSTALL_PREFIX=/home/me/YADE/YADEinstalled/ /home/me/YADE/trunk/
make
make install

- this not:

cd /home/me/YADE/YADEinstalled/
cmake -DINSTALL_PREFIX=. /home/me/YADE/trunk/
make
make install

-> it includes bin, share and lib/yade-2013-02-20.git-6bf84aa/ into trunk folder:

me@debian ~/YADE/YADEinstalled >make install

Cmake accepts usually only absolute paths. INSTALL_PREFIX variable due
to some tricks accepts relative paths for Yade, but they are (as you
found out) relative to the source-code path (trunk in your case).
Please, use absolute paths, if relative one brings difficulties.

It is better to split the installation into three paths: source-code,
build-folder, install-folder. In this case files will not be mixed and
the source code will always be clean. You can even build the project
with different parameters, but from the same source-code-folder.

Best regards,

Anton
