This is not how it is supposed to work. See my explanation above.

From what you say it seems that, in autotools language, you can set
different install locations (using --prefix=/usr/local/lyx1.6 in a
case, and --prefix=/usr/local/lyx2.0 in the other), but have no way
to specify --with-version-suffix. This means that using cmake it is
not possible to run different lyx versions in parallel (without using
the -userdir switch). This is due to the wrong way PACKAGE is set, IMHO.
This is a nuisance. With autotools, when using --with-version-suffix you
get this kind of layout:
[root]
+- usr/local
|
+- bin (here go the binaries lyx, lyx-14, lyx-15, etc)
|
+- share
|
+- lyx (system dir for current lyx version)
|
+- lyx-14 (system dir for 1.4)
|
+- lyx-15 (system dir for 1.5)
|
+- locale
|
+- ar
| |
| +- LC_MESSAGES (here go lyx.mo, lyx-14.mo, lyx-15.mo)
|
+- ca
| |
| +- LC_MESSAGES (here go lyx.mo, lyx-14.mo, lyx-15.mo)
...
Which is much cleaner. What you get with cmake is so much ... Windows like ;)
