.. versionadded:: 3.31
:command:`install` ``DESTINATION`` paths are normalized.
The :command:`install` command has a number of different forms, and most of
them take a ``DESTINATION`` keyword, some in more than one place.
CMake 3.30 and earlier used the value given after the ``DESTINATION`` keyword
as provided with no transformations. The :command:`install(EXPORT)` form
assumes the path contains no ``..`` or ``.`` path components when computing
a path relative to the ``DESTINATION``, and if the project provided a path
that violated that assumption, the computed path would be incorrect.
CMake 3.31 normalizes all ``DESTINATION`` values given in any form of the
:command:`install` command, except for the ``INCLUDES DESTINATION`` of the
:command:`install(TARGETS)` form. The normalization performed is the same
as for the :command:`cmake_path` command (see :ref:`Normalization`).
The ``OLD`` behavior of this policy performs no translation on the
``DESTINATION`` values of any :command:`install` command. They are used
exactly as provided. If a destination path contains ``..`` or ``.`` path
components, :command:`install(EXPORT)` will use the same wrong paths as
CMake 3.30 and earlier.
The ``NEW`` behavior will normalize all ``DESTINATION`` values except for
``INCLUDES DESTINATION``. If a destination path contains a generator
expression, it will be wrapped in a ``$<PATH:CMAKE_PATH,NORMALIZE,...>``
generator expression.
This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.31.
It may be set by :command:`cmake_policy` or :command:`cmake_minimum_required`.
If it is not set, CMake will warn if it detects a path that would be different
if normalized, and uses ``OLD`` behavior. If a destination path contains a
generator expression, no such warning will be issued regardless of the value.
