Hi,

instead of a solution with install( DIRECTORY ... ), enumerating EXCLUDE 
and hoping that something unexpected does not arise there, I recommend 
using file( GLOB ... ) and installing only what is directly required:

file( GLOB _generated_headers ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/*.h )
install(
  FILES ${_generated_headers}
  DESTINATION ${INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR}/<app>/
)

This also allows you to easily add a list ${_generated_headers} to other 
installed files to use a single install( FILES ... ) for installation of 
both static and generated headers.

Cheers
