Installing

Make a new build directory. If this build directory is build root and the directory where this file is found is called src root, do the following to install:

cd <build root>
cmake <src root> -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=<prefix>
make install DESTDIR=<destdir>

The installation directory will be //bin for binaries, and //share/man for man pages.

If -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH is not given, then the default value is: /usr/local

The default value for DESTDIR is the empty string.
