configuring run scripts in CMake

i have a project which consists of several files like the binary, config files, start stop script, etc.

here's a simplified directory structure

/etc/configfile
/etc/xgd/autostart/runfile.Desktop
/usr/local/sbin/startscript
/usr/local/bin/binaryfile
/usr/local/share/project/main.glade
/usr/local/share/project/button.png

a runscript will be configured using 

configure_file(conf/config.h.in ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/config.h)

and installed using

#copy sbin files
file(GLOB SBINFILES ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${SBINDIR}/*.sh)

# install scripts
install(FILES ${SBINFILES}
        PERMISSIONS OWNER_READ OWNER_WRITE OWNER_EXECUTE GROUP_READ GROUP_EXECUTE WORLD_READ WORLD_EXECUTE
        DESTINATION ${SBINDIR} 
        COMPONENT binary)

and it contains following text

#!/bin/bash
# ###############################################
# runscript for my program
# date: 2018/05/21
# ###############################################

export G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all
export LOGFILE=~/.logfile.log
pushd ${BINDIR}
${BINDIR}/${PROJECTNAME} 1>> $LOGFILE 2>> $LOGFILE
popd

well, this works as long as i try to install to /usr/local/share but when I install using 

make DESTDIR=./dist install

there's still /usr/local/bin/binaryfile configured which is logical but not what i want..

Is there any way to add a that destdir to cmake configuration?

DESTDIR cannot be addeed to CMake configuration, because it isn't known on that stage: the variable is known only at install step.

Scripts (and executables) provided by the project may be ready for installation with 

make DESTDIR=<...> install

by using relative paths to other components:

# From /usr/local/sbin/startscript execute /usr/local/bin/binaryfile.
../bin/binaryfile 1>> $LOGFILE 2>> $LOGFILE

When it is needed, relative paths can be transformed to absolute using readlink:

# From /usr/local/sbin/startscript execute /usr/local/bin/binaryfile
# using its absolute path
BINDIR=`readlink -f ../bin/`

pushd ${BINDIR}
${BINDIR}/${PROJECTNAME} 1>> $LOGFILE 2>> $LOGFILE
popd
