Indeed: you need to set "ENABLE_OS_SPECIFIC_INSTALL" to false in that case. (On Mac for example by default we install files to create a ".dmg" package.)

Sounds good. I'm adding this to our TODO list.

That way I can use find_package(Gmsh) in my project so I can use the API.  I read the api-demo project and understand the approach there but would prefer that find_package work as in my project the development is done on one platform (osx) while the nightly builds are done on another (ubuntu).
