The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=14450 ====================================================================== Reported By: georgeg Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 14450 Category: CMake Reproducibility: always Severity: major Priority: high Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2013-10-01 10:55 EDT Last Modified: 2013-10-01 10:55 EDT ====================================================================== Summary: CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX scope Description: The goal is that to install subdirectory in a custom path (usualy a child of the top directory install path) the top directory has no sources by itself but is only a container for the subdirectories (the root of a project with other subprojects)
running make install in top directory will not obey the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX that we set in each subdirectory. instead, the default top directory CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX value is used Steps to Reproduce: create one subdirectory and 2 cmake lists: CMakeLists.txt: CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.8) PROJECT(cmaketest) ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(1) 1/CMakeLists.txt: CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.8) PROJECT(cmaketest1) SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX /tmp/cmaketest/1) MESSAGE ("1: CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}") INSTALL(FILES 1.h DESTINATION include) Additional Information: note the directory "1" must be created and a demo header file in it: "1.h" ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2013-10-01 10:55 georgeg New Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
