Hi
My guess is that you have a local variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX being shadowed by the global variable. Best to add the CACHE keyword etc in your set statement, then there’ll be only 1 variable. Kris From: CMake [mailto:cmake-boun...@cmake.org] On Behalf Of Chris Johnson Sent: 27 December 2016 23:27 To: cmake@cmake.org Subject: [CMake] Install destination problem In all of my CMakeLists.txt files, I include a settings file, like so: include(global_settings.cmake) Inside global_settings.cmake, I have a line like this: set( CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/install ) When I run "make install" on my development system, the files are correctly installed where I expect to find them, in a subdirectory of my build directory named "install". But when I tried to do the same on our production server just now, it tried to install the binaries into /usr/local/bin. It's as if $CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX did not get set. What am I doing wrong?
