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?
CMakeLists.txt
---------------------
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
# Use extraction timestamps
if( NOT CMAKE_VERSION LESS 3.24.0 )
cmake_policy( SET CMP0135 NEW )
endif()
#
# Run this file by calling runme.sh - NOT cmake

project( Dependencies )
# use, i.e. don't skip the full RPATH for the build tree
SET(CMAKE_SKIP_BUILD_RPATH FALSE)
# when building, don't use the install RPATH already
# (but later on when installing)
SET(CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH FALSE)
# the RPATH to be used when installing
SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH "")
set( CMAKE_MAKEFILE_VERBOSE 1 )
# Many Build Libraries here, then we get to:
include( BuildFLTK.cmake )
BuildFLTK.cmake

Include( ExternalProject )
ExternalProject_Add(

GIT_REPOSITORY "https://github.com/fltk/fltk.git"

# this is done, in case fltk looks for libraries like libcairo which was
compiled previously and installed in
The problem is that while it works fine on Windows and Linux on macOS
the INSTALL_PREFIX is not respected and fluid is dumped into
Applications directly, instead of in $PWD/install/bin.
