CMake installation cannot find headers when building binaries on a separate directory #86
Description
My OS is Ubuntu 16.04. I made a directory check/Build to build binaries in cmake-gui
$ cmake-gui .
$ cd Build/
$ make -j4
[ 2%] Building C object lib/CMakeFiles/compat.dir/libcompat.c.o
[ 5%] Building C object src/CMakeFiles/check.dir/check.c.o
< ... >
[100%] Linking C executable check_check
[100%] Built target check_check
Compilation had no issue, however when I try to install:
sudo make install
[sudo] password for khaotik:
[ 5%] Built target compat
[ 30%] Built target check
[ 35%] Built target check_nofork_teardown
[ 51%] Built target check_check_export
[ 89%] Built target check_check
[ 94%] Built target check_nofork
[100%] Built target ex_output
Install the project...

CMake Error at lib/cmake_install.cmake:40 (file):
file INSTALL cannot find "/home/khaotik/Build/check/Build/lib/libcompat.h".
Call Stack (most recent call first):

Makefile:71: recipe for target 'install' failed
make: *** [install] Error 1
I fixed the problem by copying the needed file, however I don't think the error should be there on the first place.
