My application requires a configuration file and a resource folder placed in the same directory as the executable. Those are located at : ~/workspace/src/project/cfg/. I want to copy this file and this directory at ~/workspace/devel/lib/project/, where my executable is located.

What can I add to my CMakeLists.txt to achieve that? I have tried using ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION}, but it creates a lib subdirectory in build.

Thank you

The CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION variable only contains a relative path. You need to additionally use CATKIN_DEVEL_PREFIX. So combined you want to install to:

"${CATKIN_DEVEL_PREFIX}/${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION}`

which will be:

<develspace>/lib/${PROJECT_NAME}

`BIN_DESTINATION` twice?

Sorry, that was a copy-n-paste error - I updated the answer.

Thank you! I miss it in the documentation for some reason,..

I get something weird with "${CATKIN_DEVEL_PREFIX}/${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION}" I am getting this:

<develspace>/.private/<packagename>/lib/<packagename>

I really would like to get: <develspace>/.private/<packagename>/lib/
