This variable defaults to -``/usr/local`` on UNIX and ``c:/Program Files`` on Windows. - -On UNIX one can use the ``DESTDIR`` mechanism in order to relocate the -whole installation. ``DESTDIR`` means DESTination DIRectory. It is -commonly used by makefile users in order to install software at -non-default location. It is usually invoked like this: - -:: - - make DESTDIR=/home/john install - -which will install the concerned software using the installation -prefix, e.g. ``/usr/local`` prepended with the ``DESTDIR`` value which -finally gives ``/home/john/usr/local``. - -WARNING: ``DESTDIR`` may not be used on Windows because installation -prefix usually contains a drive letter like in ``C:/Program Files`` -which cannot be prepended with some other prefix. - -The installation prefix is also added to :variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH` -so that :command:`find_package`, :command:`find_program`, -:command:`find_library`, :command:`find_path`, and :command:`find_file` -will search the prefix for other software. - -.. note:: - - Use the :module:`GNUInstallDirs` module to provide GNU-style - options for the layout of directories within the installation. |
