Hi,
Currently the build system forces the library path to be lib64 on x86_64 arch except for mac:
if(NOT APPLE)
# Create suffix to eventually install in lib64
if(CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P EQUAL 4)
SET(LIB_SUFFIX "")
SET(PACK_ARCH "")
else(CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P EQUAL 8)
SET(LIB_SUFFIX 64)
SET(PACK_ARCH .x86_64)
endif(CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P EQUAL 4)
else(NOT APPLE)
SET(LIB_SUFFIX "")
SET(PACK_ARCH "")
endif(NOT APPLE)
However some distro do not use this library suffix, like all the debian-based ones.
Usually it is the packagers job to decide whether it will install in lib or lib64 through the macro %cmake defined in rpm systems which passes -DLIB_SUFFIX=64 on x86_64 systems
There are two options to allow to install the library in the right place in every case:
- do not try to set LIB_SUFFIX automatically
- provide an option to disable the automatic setting of LIB_SUFFIX depending on CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P
I would go for the first one as it's the most simple (no more need for an APPLE switch) ; just remove all the SET(LIB_SUFFIX...) lines, it will be automatically read as "" (empty)
