[Digikam-devel] install to different directory than specified with DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX

[Benjamin Girault]

Hi Simon,

You can use the bootstrap.local script that should handle your case quite 
nicely (I'm using it to develop on the git version of digiKam).

Otherwise, have you tried:

  cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/stow/digikam5
  make
  make install

This should be the correct way (see how it is done in bootstrap.local & 
bootstrap.linux). Note that CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is only the target directory 
where digiKam will be installed, and not at all where the libraries are.

Cheers,
