That was the reason for my post, I had already set
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in CMakeCache.txt, then I ran cmake again, built

Yes, that does work. I didn't see it documented anywhere. It would be
easier if the dylibs were copied somewhere that was already searched.

I didn't see anything in CMakeCache.txt.
