[CMake] cmake install

[Michael Jackson]

You should explicitly set the installation location of your package using –DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/xxx/xxxx/xxxx/xxx during the initial invocation of cmake.

 

This should be set to a location you KNOW you have normal write access to. Once this is set then you will no longer need to use “sudo” to run the commands and all _should_ work correctly. This is what we do on our dashboard builds.

I tried:

 

# cmake -G Ninja .

# cmake --build .

# cmake --build . --target install

 

This should be correct. Did this not work for you?

 

No.

Thanks for your help.

 

 

 

If its somewhere in the manual, I’d appreciate pointers.

 

Which part were you looking for? The use of --target is documented as part of the Build Tool Mode section, but it seems you've already figured out that part. There's nothing technically special about the install target as far as I'm aware, you should be able to refer to it as a build target like you've done above.
