It is commonly used by makefile -users in order to install software at non-default location. It is a -basic relocation mechanism that should not be used on Windows (see -CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX documentation). 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". When preparing a package, CPack -first installs the items to be packaged in a local (to the build tree) -directory by using the same DESTDIR mechanism. Nevertheless, if -CPACK_SET_DESTDIR is set then CPack will set DESTDIR before doing the -local install. The most noticeable difference is that without -CPACK_SET_DESTDIR, CPack uses CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX as a -prefix whereas with CPACK_SET_DESTDIR set, CPack will use -CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX as a prefix. - -Manually setting CPACK_SET_DESTDIR may help (or simply be necessary) -if some install rules uses absolute DESTINATION (see CMake INSTALL -command). However, starting with CPack/CMake 2.8.3 RPM and DEB -installers tries to handle DESTDIR automatically so that it is seldom -necessary for the user to set it. |
