Hi there,
I have the following problem with cmake:

I would like to set the installation path for plugins to be ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}/${PROJECT_NAME}. As I understand it, the LIB_INSTALL_DIR is relative to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX if it is not an absolute path. Installation works fine for both cases when LIB_INSTALL_DIR is absolute and when it is relative. So far so good.

Now, my problem is that I would like to generate a header file containing the installation path for my plugins so the program can find them. My header input file contains

#define PLUGIN_DIR "${PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR}"

which works if LIB_INSTALL_DIR is absolute but it doesn't work if it is a relative path in which case I'd need

#define PLUGIN_DIR "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR}"

which presumably won't work on windows systems anyway because of the unix dir separator. what's the best way of solving this issue?

Cheers
magnus
