CMake/Help/variable/CMAKE_FIND_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX.rst
Stephen Kelly 7521da2852 Introduce CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX variable.
This variable can be useful in cross-compiling contexts where the
sysroot is read-only or where the sysroot should otherwise remain
pristine.

If the new CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX variable is set, it is used instead
of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX when generating the installation rules in
cmake_install.cmake.

This way, the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable
always refers to the installation prefix on the target device, regardless
of whether host==target.

If any -rpath paths passed to the linker contain the CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX,
the matching path fragments are replaced with the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
Matching paths in the -rpath-link are not transformed.

The cross-prefix usr-move workaround is assumed not to require extension
regarding CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX. The staging area is a single prefix, so
there is no scope for cross-prefix symlinks. The CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
is still used to determine the workaround path, and that variable
remains the relevant one even if CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX is used. If the
generated export files are deployed to the target, the workaround
will still be in place, and still be employed if required.

CMAKE_FIND_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX
----------------------------
Ignore the :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` when searching for assets.
CMake adds the :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` and the
:variable:`CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX` variable to the
:variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH` by default. This variable may be set
on the command line to control that behavior.
Set :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX` to TRUE to tell find_package not
to search in the :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` or
:variable:`CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX` by default. Note that the
prefix may still be searched for other reasons, such as being the same prefix
as the CMake installation, or for being a built-in system prefix.
