            Bug ID: 471061
           Summary: Installation for /usr/local installs plugins into
                    incorrect path
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kmymoney
           Version: git (master)
          Platform: Ubuntu
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: buildsystem
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: cfcohen77 at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
After completing my first local build of kmymoney, I had to move the plugins
from /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/kmymoney_plugins to
/usr/local/bin/kmymoney_plugins in order to get an "open file" plugin to read
my data.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. cd build
2. cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..
3. sudo make install

OBSERVED RESULT

Plugins were installed into a directory where the application did not look for
them.

EXPECTED RESULT

Plugins would be installed in a location where they would be found.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 23.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I made no attempt to investigate or fix this bug because I'm not familiar with
your build system sufficient to say for certain where the plugins were supposed
to be installed.  Based on the location in /usr for the standard installation,
I think  /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/kmymoney_plugins (note the
extra qt5) would have been the expected location.
