When preforming
cmake --install $build_dir --prefix $dest_dir
without settingCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
in advance, symlinks are created directly at defaultCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
locations, which is not the expected behaviour when$dest_dir
is not consistent withCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
.This PR fixes the problem by separating symlink creation and installation, which is a common pattern used by
xz
andzstd
