make install_plugins_manual doesn't use CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX path

This seems to be a duplicate of #17688: Plugin documentation not available in the nightly builds, but I'll rather close that one, as here you seem to have found the real cause.

No problem, after all you seem to have found the root cause ;-)

I've just submitted Pull Requesh #70

That pull request has been merged, but lasconinc doesn't believe it to fix the problem?
Maybe it fixes this one, but not #17688: Plugin documentation not available in the nightly builds? we'll see with the next nightly build I guess...

So it fixes this issue but may or may not fix #17688: Plugin documentation not available in the nightly builds, not on Windows possibly?
I'll check the next nightly build and reopen tha other issue if needed

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

I'm trying to compile musescore 2.0 (latest beta as of 1/14/2015) on a Windows 7 PC. I have
followed the instructions for downloading and making everything to the best
of my ability (all done on 1/14/2015). I'm using Qt Creator 3.3.0 based on Qt 5.4.0. I think the make nearly finished, but not quite: the text below is the end of the make message.

Error while building/deploying project mscore (kit: Desktop Qt 5.4.0 MinGW

When executing step "Make"

By the way, no .exe file was generated. It appears that the problem involves
making the docs for plugins, but I was not able to track down the cause.

P.S. This is my first experience with Musescore development and using the Musescore forum. If I'm doing something wrong like posting this issue to the wrong place, please set me straight.

The Problem this issue is about has been fixed more than 2 years ago. Your Problem sems to be different.
Please instead open a topic in the forum about it. I'm pretyt sure there's something wrong with the stepes you#re using, did you follow all the steps from http://musescore.org/en/developers-handbook/compilation/compile-instruc… ?

FWIW, I suspect this means you don't have execute permission in the build folder. If that doens't straighten you out, then indeed, a forum post is better, or to the developer's mailing list, or on IRC.

Is there such a thing like execute right on directories under Windows?

Not really, but he did get an "access is denied", so I wonder where he placed the source folder.
