I do see a similar question here: ninja appends its default installation path to my DESTDIR

But this time the problem is I am not using meson. I am working with cmake for c++ project, I used to use:

$(MAKE) install DESTDIR=

to skip DESTDIR earlier but using

DESTDIR= ninja install

will do nothing as it just prefixes existing path instead of changing it effectively, the motive is to skip debian/tmp based jailbreak for building and installing cmake external project.

Any suggestions welcome as well!

    "it just prefixes existing path instead of changing it effectively" - This is how `DESTDIR` is expected to work with `make`. `DESTDIR` does NOT replace installation prefix, it prepends the prefix. – Tsyvarev Jul 16 '21 at 07:37
