Thanks for your time :) I didn’t find anything related to frameworks there. But I don’t expect GNU-related page to contain anything specific to macOS. Nice documentation website though, didn’t know about it.

I also did a grep in CMake modules but didn’t find anything close to a framework install prefix.
