Hey, I just realised these are still here :)

I've made changes to where the executable and data files get placed ( now in 
./bin ), do you think you could update your 2 issues to reflect these changes?

Hi, I've recreated the patch from zero. It enables the use of "make install" 
and it copies the freerct, rcdgen and rcd files to a bin folder. By default 
installs to /usr/local/bin/freerct

PD: I suspect that someone tried to do a manual install by creating a /bin 
folder. I didn't remove it but I think it's unneeded.

bin folder - i've been "forcing" the executables & rcd files to that folder 
mostly so they're easier to find, but i guess it's not entirely necessary. i 
think it should stay for now though

as such, i don't agree with the bin -> build change
also, shouldn't "install(TARGETS freerct DESTINATION bin)" (and others) be 
"install(TARGETS freerct DESTINATION ${CMAKE_BUILD_DIR}/bin)" ?

/usr/local/bin/freerct - IMO, not a good idea to put the executable there (just 
yet), as the config file will have to be in that folder as well (currently has 
to be next to the executable), which seems wrong

and the rcdgen version is a bit useless, although i can see how it could be 
useful in future (remove it for now though?)

No, the install command destination should point to a relative folder (doesn't 
matter if exists) so you can put "make DESTDIR=/my/dir/here install" and it 
installs the virtual folder (bin, ... and so on) onto /my/dir/here. Take a look 
at CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX var for define a prefix between the DESTDIR path and 
the realtive folders with install command.
