CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Install directory used by install.
|
|
|
|
If "make install" is invoked or INSTALL is built, this directory is
|
|
prepended onto all install directories. This variable defaults to
|
|
/usr/local on UNIX and c:/Program Files on Windows.
|
|
|
|
On UNIX one can use the DESTDIR mechanism in order to relocate the
|
|
whole installation. DESTDIR means DESTination DIRectory. It is
|
|
commonly used by makefile users in order to install software at
|
|
non-default location. It is usually invoked like this:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
make DESTDIR=/home/john install
|
|
|
|
which will install the concerned software using the installation
|
|
prefix, e.g. "/usr/local" prepended with the DESTDIR value which
|
|
finally gives "/home/john/usr/local".
|
|
|
|
WARNING: DESTDIR may not be used on Windows because installation
|
|
prefix usually contains a drive letter like in "C:/Program Files"
|
|
which cannot be prepended with some other prefix.
|
|
|
|
The installation prefix is also added to CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH so
|
|
that find_package, find_program, find_library, find_path, and
|
|
find_file will search the prefix for other software.
