If ``make install`` is invoked or ``INSTALL`` is built, this directory is
|
2014-08-03 19:52:23 +02:00
|
|
|
prepended onto all install directories. This variable defaults to
|
2016-10-30 18:24:19 +01:00
|
|
|
``/usr/local`` on UNIX and ``c:/Program Files/${PROJECT_NAME}`` on Windows.

See :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX_INITIALIZED_TO_DEFAULT` for how a
|
|
|
|
|
project might choose its own default.

On UNIX one can use the ``DESTDIR`` mechanism in order to relocate the
|
2018-08-09 18:06:22 +02:00
|
|
|
whole installation. See :envvar:`DESTDIR` for more information.

|
|
|
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.
