Summary0011495: CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX cannot contain the '=' character in the path
DescriptionSet CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to something containing a '=' in the path. In that case the directive gets ignored, and 'make install' will try to install to /usr/local.
Steps To Reproduce1) Create a simple CMakeLists.txt with an install directive.
2) invoke cmake like this: 'cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/containing=in/it/
3) type 'make install'
4) files get installed to /usr/local

Looks like a command line parsing issue. If you put the value in the CMakeCache.txt by hand or via cmake-gui does it work?

Putting the value by hand in the CMakeCache.txt makes the issue go away.

This has been a long-standing cache-entry parsing bug. The method cmCacheManager::ParseEntry has a regex that is too aggressive and sucks everything until the last '=' into the name of the variable.

It's also a command line parsing bug. I get this in my CMakeCache.txt here:

    CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=foo:UNINITIALIZED=bar

I imagine the command line parsing has a greedy regex as well.

The command-line parser hands off "-D" options to cmCacheManager::ParseEntry.

A fix is in the next branch.
