Re: [opensuse-packaging] -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX does not work

This problem exists in nearly every package based on cmake. When I am trying to build a cmake application for KDE3 (where it should be in /opt/kde3 prefix), it gets installed in /usr. I already abandoned several packages and in other ones I manually patched the makefiles. Is there a general way, or CMAKE is just a buggy crap?

The INSTALL_PREFIX is not what you expect it to be. Like in autotools if you specify --prefix then it overrides all other nested values. It sadly is not usually the case in cmake. Mostly it depends on how the CMakeLists.txt are written. Cheers Tom
