In general, except CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, providing such switches is up to each individual package. Since verrsion 2.8.5 cmake ships with a GNUInstallDirs.cmake, which provides a set of install location variables: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.5/cmake.html#module:GNUInstallDirs So if a package uses this, those are the variables which can be set. Any KDE package using cmake uses a standard set of variables, which can all be set via -D or cmake-gui: http://api.kde.org/cmake/modules.html#module_FindKDE4Internal LIB_INSTALL_DIR, BIN_INSTALL_DIR etc. Alex
