Re: [CMake] Install destination problem
This might be helpful:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39481958/setting-cmake-install-prefix-from-cmakelists-txt-file/39485990#39485990
Also, FWIW, the generated makefile (if you are using the makefile generator)
supports DESTDIR which will get prepended to the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX path
(which sounds like it is not useful in your case).

Re: [CMake] Install destination problem
I've found experimentally that if the install directory exists, it works
correctly. If it does not exist, the prefix somehow gets changed to
/usr/local. I've not found where that's getting set yet.
Thanks for the recommendation on CACHE.

Re: [CMake] Install destination problem
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.

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?
