If you are using the shell archive from cmake.org, it supports a —prefix and —exclude-subdir option, e.g.:
cd /tmp CM_INSTALLER=cmake-3.14.0-Linux-x86_64.sh CM_VER_DIR=/opt/local/cmake/3.14 wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.14/$CM_INSTALLER chmod a+x $CM_INSTALLER mkdir -p $CM_VER_DIR ./$CM_INSTALLER --prefix=$CM_VER_DIR --exclude-subdir rm /tmp/$CM_INSTALLER …or if you use the tar archive, you can similarly unpack it anywhere you like. If you are building from source, I would assume CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX would be the way to go. -Mike > On Jun 23, 2019, at 3:26 PM, hex <hex...@gmail.com> wrote: > > hello, > > I'd like to install CMake under /usr/local/cmake/3.15/bin/ or similar. > > Is it possible to add the version number to a build option, like > -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX > > or do I need to modify CMake sources? > > > thank you > > -- > > Powered by www.kitware.com > > Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: > http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ > > Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
