Hi people,
In 2.4.5
make install DESTDIR=/path/to/dir
puts files in /path/to/dir/usr/local
that's because the actual destination is
$ENV{DESTDIR}/${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}
Is this the expected behaviour? or is it a bug in 2.4.5?
If this is expected, what is the best way to allow users to have DESTDIR
*override* CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX? (which IMO is the right thing to do)
Here's what I'm doing now, which seems to work, but is too hacky for my
taste:
(the string length business is there just because if ( $ENV(DESTDIR) )
doesn't work as I expected)
string( LENGTH "$ENV{DESTDIR}" DESTDIRLEN )
if ( ${DESTDIRLEN} GREATER 0 )
message( STATUS "DESTDIR specified ($ENV{DESTDIR}). Overriding
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX (${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX})" )
set( CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX "" CACHE PATH "Use DESTDIR *instead* of
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX" FORCE )
endif()
TIA
