<p>Nope. It *does* change the default if KDevelop's install prefix is not <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">/usr/local</tt>.</p></blockquote>
<p>That's also what I meant.</p>
<p>That said, the install location field is always empty in the cmake import wizard when I create a new project. Which is probably fine because why would KDevelop bother hardcoding a default cmake setting esp. if that setting is dubious (argue as you might, c:\Program Files *is* the equivalent of /usr and I gather from Francis' comment that /usr would not have been used here if that had been CMake's choice on Unix).</p>
<p>But maybe a proper cmake option to configure the default would raise less eyebrows?<br />
If there is an issue with setting the default to /usr then /usr/local should be equally off-limits on systems where that tree is under distribution control (like FreeBSD).</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R32 KDevelop</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D17255">https://phabricator.kde.org/D17255</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>rjvbb, KDevelop, kfunk<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>flherne, kfunk, kdevelop-devel, glebaccon, hase, antismap, iodelay, vbspam, geetamc, Pilzschaf, akshaydeo, surgenight, arrowd<br /></div>
