Unable to install GATE software using "make install" command - "-- Up-to-date:" related error

I am installing GATE 8.2 (a Geant4 based software) on my Ubuntu 18.04.3 system, following instructions given in GATE website. Everything works fine but in last stage of the GATE software can't be installed as make install command give error (?) like this:

[ 4%] Built target MetaIO
[ 6%] Built target itkzlib
[100%] Built target Gate
Install the project...
-- Install configuration: "Release"
-- Up-to-date: /home/sghosh/Documents/Satyajit/softwares/GATE/gate_v8.2-install/bin/Gate

I think it can be a silly mistake that I am doing and related to basics of CMake-based installation in Linux based machine.

Interestingly the file Gate in above mentioned folder (/home/sghosh/Documents/Satyajit/softwares/GATE/gate_v8.2-install/bin/) looks like text file although it should be an executable and hence should look like violet color icon (according to ubuntu 18.04.3 norm). But as I found out that c++ executables are also looks text file and I have do chmod 755 a.out on those to make it run. I have tried to do chmod on Gate executable also but without any success.

I don't believe it actually prints any errors. It simply prints the path to the binary:

-- Up-to-date: /home/sghosh/Documents/Satyajit/softwares/GATE/gate_v8.2-install/bin/Gate

You can execute this from terminal with simply entering /home/sghosh/Documents/Satyajit/softwares/GATE/gate_v8.2-install/bin/Gate
