🤔 What's changed?
Use the
GNUInstallDirsCMake module to help determine installation paths for C libraries, headers, and configs.⚡️ What's your motivation?
Without this, on OS’s and architectures that use “multilib” directory layouts (e.g. Fedora on
x86_64), the libraries and configs would be installed system-wide under/usr/libwhen they should be in/usr/lib64. UsingGNUInstallDirsfixes that in the general case.🏷️ What kind of change is this?
♻️ Anything particular you want feedback on?
