This is the pattern I typically use for building a MinGW program with CMake and installing it in the correct directory:
mkdir build cd build MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL=- cmake .. -G"MSYS Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$MINGW_PREFIX make install DESTDIR=/ It's a little bit tricky because of how MSYS2's automatic path conversions work, but if you just follow that formula it will probably be fine. --David Grayson On Mon, Jun 22, 2020 at 8:16 AM Filippo Rusconi via Msys2-users < msys2-users@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Greetings, Fellow Developers, > > I am happily using MSYS2/MinGW64 since a number of years without delving > too > much into the file system hierarchy. > > I am now developing and packaging a set of libs/exec programs that are > built > using CMake.
