When running the compilation of fltk thru ExternalProject_Add() cmake will try to install fluid into the /Applications/ directory and it will fail due to lack of permissions unless run as root user.

-- Up-to-date: /Applications/fluid.app
CMake Error at fluid/cmake_install.cmake:49 (file):
   file INSTALL cannot set permissions on "/Applications/fluid.app": Operation

OK, I understand the words, but I believe we need more context. What exactly are the steps you do when this happens? Could you please provide a full CMakeLists.txt with a demo (hello world) file that uses this technique and describe the commands you use so we (I) can test?

The ExternalProject_Add() looks like:

Include( ExternalProject )

ExternalProject_Add(
   FLTK
   GIT_REPOSITORY "https://github.com/fltk/fltk.git";
   GIT_PROGRESS 1
   CMAKE_ARGS
   -DCMAKE_MODULE_PATH=${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH}
   -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}
   -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}

The above statement is, if I'm not missing anything, redundant. It sets the FLTK install prefix to that of your main CMake invocation. If this is '/Applications' then it is correct for FLTK to be installed in that location and you need the corresponding privileges whenever the built FLTK project is installed.

What am I missing?

   -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}

I'm also not sure if this (above) is a valid (useful) assignment. Can you explain why this is done?

   -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}
   -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=${CMAKE_C_FLAGS}
   -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS}
   -DFLTK_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF
   -DFLTK_BUILD_TEST=OFF
   -DOPTION_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=0
   -DOPTION_USE_SYSTEM_ZLIB=0
   -DOPTION_USE_SYSTEM_LIBJPEG=0
   -DOPTION_USE_SYSTEM_LIBPNG=0
)
