Summary

0009183: No way to determine full install prefix (including DESTDIR)

Description

Sometimes it is useful at install time to edit or delete files instead of using the install() variants.

Example: I would like to delete all old Export${project}.cmake files installed previously at install time. This prevents inclusion of Export${project}-${buildtype}.cmake variants that no longer apply (as there is an include glob in the generated Export${project}.cmake)

My feature request is for a command, macro or variable to give the actual install prefix that install() uses.

Additional Information

I have been hindered in writing a macro for this myself because of bug 0009182 which I reported today.

Here was my attempt:

macro(macro_install_prefix _var)
    set(_destdir "$ENV{DESTDIR}")
    if("${_destdir}" STREQUAL "")
        file(TO_CMAKE_PATH "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}" "${_var}")
    else("${_destdir}" STREQUAL "")
        file(TO_CMAKE_PATH "${_destdir}/${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}" "${_var}")
    endif("${_destdir}" STREQUAL "")
endmacro(macro_install_prefix _var)
