GNUInstallDirs

Define GNU standard installation directories

Provides install directory variables as defined for GNU software:

http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Directory-Variables.html

Inclusion of this module defines the following variables:

CMAKE_INSTALL_<dir>

destination for files of a given type

CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_<dir>

corresponding absolute path

where <dir> is one of:

BINDIR

user executables (bin)

SBINDIR

system admin executables (sbin)

LIBEXECDIR

program executables (libexec)

SYSCONFDIR

read-only single-machine data (etc)

SHAREDSTATEDIR

modifiable architecture-independent data (com)

LOCALSTATEDIR

modifiable single-machine data (var)

LIBDIR

object code libraries (lib or lib64 or lib/<multiarch-tuple> on Debian)

INCLUDEDIR

C header files (include)

OLDINCLUDEDIR

C header files for non-gcc (/usr/include)

DATAROOTDIR

read-only architecture-independent data root (share)

DATADIR

read-only architecture-independent data (DATAROOTDIR)

INFODIR

info documentation (DATAROOTDIR/info)

LOCALEDIR

locale-dependent data (DATAROOTDIR/locale)

MANDIR

man documentation (DATAROOTDIR/man)

DOCDIR

documentation root (DATAROOTDIR/doc/PROJECT_NAME)

Each CMAKE_INSTALL_<dir> value may be passed to the DESTINATION options of install() commands for the corresponding file type. If the includer does not define a value the above-shown default will be used and the value will appear in the cache for editing by the user. Each CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_<dir> value contains an absolute path constructed from the corresponding destination by prepending (if necessary) the value of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
