Allow install in generic locations #17
Description
I am no export of cmake by any means, so this is not worth a pull request because it is not working as I would like. Reading the documentation about install and CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX I could not come with a setting that I liked, namely that would:
- install in
$WHATEVERif-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$WHATEVERis specified when invoking cmake - install in
/usr/local/chidg/if-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIXis not specified when invoking cmake
If I leave CMakeList.txt as is, I could have it installed in $WHATEVER/usr/local/chidg/ by calling make DESTDIR=$WHATEVER install instead of make install but I don't really like the /usr/local/chidg/ suffix.
The following does what I want for me (installing in $WHATEVER), but of course not for you since it installs in /usr/local/ instead of /usr/local/chidg/.

If I had removed only /usr/local/ instead of removing the whole /usr/local/chidg/ from the DESTINATIONS my understanding was that it would work for you and it would be better for me (installing in $WHATEVER/chidg/ when calling make DESTDIR=$WHATEVER install instead of make install). But I still don't like the additional /chidg/ suffix. Yet, this still install in very ugly $WHATEVER/usr/local/chidg/. Just to be super clear about what I'm doing:
