The DESTDIR env.variable is a purely install-time thing, i.e. it doesn't affect CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX or RPATH or install_name_dir. E.g. if you set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to /home/alex/install, and then before do install like this: $ DESTDIR=/tmp/blub/ make install then everything will be installed into /tmp/blub/home/alex/install Alex _______________________________________________ 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://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
