Description
With cmake (directly) it is possible to install a project with "temporarily" setting the install prefix, in the sense that CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is not changed within the CmakeCache file.
The corresponding command would look like this:
`cmake --install . --config --prefix `
Is there a way to do this with cmake-tools, i.e., I guess `cmake.install`?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the cmake.install command and its handling of install options. Compare its behavior with CMake's `cmake --install . --prefix ` command; done means a temporary prefix can be supplied without changing CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in the CMakeCache.
