This PR replaces bare relative install destinations like
bin
orlib
with their corresponding variables fromGNUInstallDirs
(see module documentation). The variables should default to the same values as previously used (other thanCMAKE_INSTALL_DOCDIR
, for which we override the default). For example,CMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR
defaults tobin
.Using variables from
GNUInstallDirs
can simplify packaging Geogram in some cases as it allows overriding install destinations for certain file types. UsingGNUInstallDirs
variables is commonly considered a good practice (at least to my knowledge).There are no standard variables for CMake and pkg-config files. Therefore this PR adds
GEOGRAM_INSTALL_CMAKE_DIR
andGEOGRAM_INSTALL_PKGCONFIG_DIR
.
