sfizz.lv2 needs to respect CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX about sfizz-ui HOT 4 CLOSED

Ok so there are still reasons to cache these, namely that you could want them decoupled from the cmake install prefix.

The current best solution to this problem is thus a clean configure (with only the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX that will propagate throughout the cache) or explicitely mention the LV2_PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR on reconfigure. I don't think it is mandatory to add complexity to the build scripts at this point.

Thanks for reporting! 🙂

Hi, you would have to also override the cmake variable LV2PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR after the first run.
It's cached and defined at cmake/LV2Config.cmake, and it will be defined according to the initial value of the prefix.

(same applies to VST and VSTPLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR)

Ahh, I guess I only had a look at the topdir and src, not lv2. Thanks, it just worked. I'm not sure if there is any reason to have them independent of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX (i.e. by design) and not sure if I had better close this issue or not. I leave it to you folks.

if (MSVC)
    set (LV2PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lv2" CACHE STRING
    "Install destination for LV2 bundle [default: ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lv2}]")
else()
    set (LV2PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib/lv2" CACHE STRING
    "Install destination for LV2 bundle [default: ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib/lv2}]")
endif()

We could FORCE these, or make them normal cmake variables rather than cached values? I don't remember if we had a good reason to cache these.
