cmake install: how to remove subdir prefix

I have a library libA. Structure is the following:

libA
+ CMakeLists.txt
+ mySRC/headerA.h
+ mySRC/headerB.h
+ mySRC/moduleA/modA.h
+ mySRC/moduleB/modB.h

My lib compiles fine and afterwards I want to install it using this cmake code:

SET(Source_dir mySRC)
SET(LIB_NAME libA) 
...
INSTALL(TARGETS ${LIB_NAME} DESTINATION /usr/local/lib)
INSTALL(DIRECTORY ${Source_dir} 
DESTINATION /usr/local/include/libA
FILES_MATCHING PATTERN "*.h")

Result:

libA.a ends up in

/usr/local/lib/libA.a (which is fine)

Headers end up in

/usr/local/include/libA/mySRC/*
/usr/local/include/libA/mySRC/moduleA
/usr/local/include/libA/mySRC/moduleB

What is not what I wanted. I want to remove "mySRC":

/usr/local/include/libA/*
/usr/local/include/libA/moduleA
/usr/local/include/libA/moduleB

How can I remove mySRC from the path?

As CMake documentation says, you can prevent CMake from appending the directory name by following it with a trailing slash:

INSTALL(DIRECTORY ${Source_dir}/
  DESTINATION /usr/local/include/libA
  FILES_MATCHING PATTERN "*.h")
