Strange. Which version of of CGAL do you use?

The CGALConfig.cmake in the build directory, and the one in the installation 
directory should be different. And the bug should be only in the installed 
one.

That is equivalent. So far, when auto-linking is enabled, we have chosen to 
have those variables empty. The dual approach would be, as you suggest, to 
have always non-empty (and correct) values for those variables, but not use 
them when the auto-linking is used. That sounded more complicated to 
implement, and we have chosen to use empty variables.
