I am installing a library using its own CMakeLists.txt file and I accidently set the option CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to a different directory than what I had intended. I already ran make and I know running make install will cause the library files to be installed in the wrong directory. To solve this problem I can simply rerun cmake with the correct CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, run make and then run make install but that requires the library to be rebuilt again which takes some time. Is there a quick way to fix this where I can simply change the target directory of make install

thank you, although the _DDESDIR didn't work for me (library was still installed in the wrong dir) re-running cmake without running make again worked for me. – Mustafa Sep 18 '13 at 20:01
