[CMake] [PATCH] Defining standard GNU directory variables

[Enrico Scholz]

Hello,

I uploaded a module to

                http://ensc.de/cmake/FindGNUPaths.cmake

which sets variables defined in the GNU coding standards and which are
used by the most auto* based projects. Current cmake suffers under
missing standardization of used paths. E.g. lot of projects are writing
simply

| install(TARGETS foolib LIBRARY DESTINATION lib)

This is wrong on multilib systems which might expect libraries at
/usr/lib64, and it requires patching of one or more CMakeLists.txt
files by packagers to fix this.


My module provides an uniform way for packagers to set correct paths,
e.g. by

|  cmake -Dlibdir=%_libdir ...

and requires that developer writes

| find_package(GNUPaths)
| ...
| install(TARGETS foolib LIBRARY DESTINATION "${libdir}")
