1. General Info/Rules

i. Relative Path Rule

Use relative paths instead of absoute paths for install "DESTINATION" in cmake.

Example: In the example below, using absolute path like " DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} " will result with error in packing stage on windows and worse on MAC files will not be copied/installed (without warning and error !!)

Good: Use bin_dir is ".", it is relative directory

set(bin_dir .)
# Install OpenSSL dynamic lib files
if(SYSTEM_WINDOWS)
    install(
        FILES 
        "${OpenSSL_DIR}/out32dll/ssleay32.dll"
        "${OpenSSL_DIR}/out32dll/libeay32.dll"
        DESTINATION ${bin_dir})
        ...
