----------------------------------
Summary: Binding installation ignores prefix
Key: PROTON-445
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-445
Project: Qpid Proton
Issue Type: Bug
Components: proton-c
Affects Versions: 0.5
Reporter: Justin Ross
Attachments: what-a-mess.txt
It allows you *prepend* to the install prefix, but it gives you no way afaict
to actually change the prefix.
This is the opposite of nice. If you set a prefix for your build *and* you try
to get your bindings slotted in with them you get this:
# cmake -
/opt/myplace/usr/lib/python/*python files*
/opt/myplace/opt/myplace/lib/*c files*
^^ Note "/opt/myplace/opt/myplace", the first from DESTDIR, the second from
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
What it is doing now is simply abuse of DESTDIR. DESTDIR is intended to be a
mechanism for staged installs (packaging systems use this), and it cannot
function correctly as an override for prefix.

My proposed solution to this is to stop this madness: make the binding install
honor CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. Let the developer be responsible for choosing the
right location for his or her distribution.
