Xcode INSTALL_PATH setting makes archiving impossible

This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.


CMake sets CMAKE_XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_INSTALL_PATH to an empty string ("") when generating xcode projects. For whatever reason archiving projects only works when

  • INSTALL_PATH is NOT set
  • INSTALL_PATH is set to some value other than the empty string ("")

It does NOT work when

  • INSTALL_PATH is set to the empty string

So I propose for CMake to not set this value at all, then XCode takes some default which works for archiving files.
