Hi Bastian, I'm not actually using Debian, but I tried to compile qtcurve on Arch Linux and failed because of the same error. I hope my note would be usefull even for Debian maintainers.
The problem was that the cmake could't acces home directory of user buiding qtcurve package. During the process, it whows messages like: trying to create local folder /home/martin/.kde: Permission denied I don't build packages using my own user account, I use sudo to switch to another account instead. Since sudo does not modify HOME environment variable by default, my building account can't access my homedir. This is imho the problem which led to fail of cmake later: CMake Error at config/cmake_install.cmake:39 (FILE): file called with relative DESTINATION. This does not make sense when using DESTDIR. Specify absolute path or remove DESTDIR environment variable. Call Stack (most recent call first): cmake_install.cmake:41 (INCLUDE) Using sudo -H (which sets the HOME environment variable to the homedir of the target user) I'm able to build package without any problems. Similar warrings can be found during debian building process (see http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=sparc&pkg=kde-style-qtcurve&ver=0.55.2-2): trying to create local folder /nonexistent: Permission denied The error message during debian building process is completely the same, so maybe you should make the /nonexistent directory accesible somehow :) (Since I don't know anything about the debian build system, I'm not able to help you more).
