I installed Groovy and converted my package from rosbuild to catkin following a migration guide.
I wrote my CMakeLists.txt referenced Groovy's sources and CMakeLists.
I run catkin_make, failed about install DESTINATION.

CMake Error at my_package/CMakeLists.txt:18 (install):
  install TARGETS given no RUNTIME DESTINATION for executable target
  "my_package_node".

My CMakeLists.txt is

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(my_package)

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS sensor_msgs driver_base image_proc dynamic_reconfigure camera_calibration_parsers compressed_image_transport cv_bridge rospack)

# create my_package_node
add_executable(my_package_node src/my_package_node.cpp  src/my_package_uvc/my_package_camera.cpp src/my_package_uvc/my_package_uvc.cpp)
target_link_libraries(my_package_node ${catkin_LIBRARIES} ${OpenCV_LIBRARIES})
install(TARGETS my_package_node
    DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION}
)

   LIBRARIES ${PROJECT_NAME}
   CATKIN-DEPENDS sensor_msgs driver_base image_proc dynamic_reconfigure camera_calibration_parsers compressed_image_transport cv_bridge
   DEPENDS opencv
)

Where is ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION}?
What am I doing wrong?

catkin_make run successfully when I set my workspace directory as install destination. install(TARGETS my_package_node DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin ) I don' know how to configure "${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION}.

catkin_package() defines the variable CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION and must therefore be called before install(). In your case the variable has not been set and therefore the destination is empty.

Besides that your CMakeLists.txt contains several other flaws:

the include directories are ordered badly, first add your local stuff and then global things, else header from other workspaces will overlay your header
your include dir should not point to src/my_package_uvc but src instead, and then you should include the header with my_package_uvc/myfile.h.
the argument to catkin_package() is CATKIN_DEPENDS not CATKIN-DEPENDS

Thanks for your detailed advice. I finished my package's catkin migration! Thank you !!!

use this template for the install macro:

install(TARGETS foo foo_node
  ARCHIVE DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_LIB_DESTINATION}
  LIBRARY DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_LIB_DESTINATION}
  RUNTIME DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION}
)

Also, in your CMakeLists.txt, I believe:

target_link_libraries(my_package ...

should be

target_link_libraries(my_package_node ...

and

catkin_package(
 INCLUDE_DIRS src/my_package_uvc
 LIBRARIES ${PROJECT_NAME}
 ...

should be

catkin_package(
 INCLUDE_DIRS src/my_package_uvc
 # LIBRARIES ${PROJECT_NAME}
 ...

UPDATE: Really use the catkin_create-pkg command for new packages, this generates a CMakeLists.txt for you which should help you make less mistakes.

Hi, I'm no expert, but according to [0] you should place catkin_package before add_executable etc. Also I would try linking my_package node instead of my_package: target_link_libraries(my_package_node...

Hi, thanks for your advice. I modified my CMakeLists.txt, but catkin_make failed with the same CMake Error.

catkin_make run successfully when I set my workspace directory as install destination.

 install(TARGETS my_package_node 
 DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin 
 )

I don't know how to configure "${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION}.

For the question 'Where is ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION}?', in my case, that location exists at '~/catkin_ws/devel/.private' The executable binary files are there.
