Also, you should install to 'lib${LIB_SUFFIX}', not 'lib'. This will allow
you (and distros packaging your software) to set LIB_SUFFIX to separate
arch-specific components of 32- and 64-bit builds. E.g. on Linux,
lib_suffix is usually ''/'64' or '32'/'', and on Windows might be
''/'/amd64'.
if you're mentioning ${LIB_SUFFIX} you might as well mention ${LIB_PREFIX}
which is the 'lib' prepended on gnuish systems.

I'm pretty sure my libraries don't get installed to /usr/liblib64... Maybe
you are thinking of the file name prefix, which is something different?
right...but they do go to
/usr/lib64/${CMAKE_[SHARED/STATIC]_LIBRARY_PREFIX}...${CMAKE_[SHARED/STATIC]_LIBRARY_SUFFIX}
Like I said... LIB_SUFFIX != CMAKE_{STATIC,SHARED}_LIBRARY_PREFIX.
CMAKE_{STATIC,SHARED}_LIBRARY_PREFIX is a built-in variable that affects
default library file names in the build.
LIB_SUFFIX is a de facto convention (originating from distro packagers I
believe) which is appended to the 'lib' destination directory when
installing things into 'lib', in order to conveniently support
multi-arch aware systems; e.g. things get installed to /usr/lib64
because they are correctly installed to 'DESTINATION lib${LIB_SUFFIX}'
with -DLIB_SUFFIX=64.
