Right, it uses the information gathered when you called add_executable or add_library. That is, add_executable will create a target for an executable binary which gets installed into RUNTIME. > 2.

CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is used as base. Unfortunately the cmake manpage lacks a tad bit there, as it only talks about installing into <prefix>/lib and <prefix>/bin in the section about "install". However the old and deprecated commands INSTALL_TARGETS, INSTALL_FILES and so on have a link between installation prefix and the variable thats actually used for it.
