CMake: Is it possible to get the destination install directory from command line?

cmake, installation, linux

Solution

You can affect this at CMake run time by setting the variable `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`. e.g.

cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
make
sudo make install

Problem

Is it possible to get the destination install directory from command line? I want to be able to execute an install command like this: make install {some destination}
