Teach the module to handle SYSCONFDIR and LOCALSTATEDIR properly if
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is set to `/` or `/usr` -- i.e. as expected by GNU
Coding Standard (i.e. set SYSCONFDIR to `/etc` and `LOCALSTATEDIR` to
`/var`). Also if CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is set to /opt/pkg, `SYSCONFDIR`
must be set to `/etc/opt/pkg` and `LOCALSTATEDIR` to `/var/opt/pkg`
according to FHS.
Convert several preformatted code block literals that enumerate lists of
options or variables to use reST definition lists instead. Manually
wrap other long lines in code blocks.
When not installing in /usr (i.e. /usr/local) on Debian/Ubuntu, the
multiarch path is not in ldconfig path, and therefore libraries cannot
be found, unless the user manually modifies the files in
/etc/ld.so.conf.d, in order to include /usr/local/lib/<arch>.
This patch fixes this issue by using "lib/<arch>" only if the user is
installing the software in /usr, and uses "lib" in all the other cases.
The AMD64 ABI document http://www.x86-64.org/documentation/abi.pdf
does specify that 64bits binary libraries should end up in <prefix>/lib64
and 32bits ones in <prefix>/lib. All but debian based distros do so,
and some like OpenSUSE even enforce the rule when packaging with RPM
and refuse to build the RPM if this is not the case.
After some discussion (see the bug notes) we cannot do that behind
the scene and the current fix supposes that the user shall use
the CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR variables content in its INSTALL rules if
he wants to put the lib in the right place. CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR
shall have the appropriate value depending on the Linux distribution
found and 32/64bitness of the host.
The cross-compiling case (even 32bits compile on a 64bits host)
is not handled.
