+Subject: [PATCH] cmake: Only use relative paths for install DESTINATION option
+ (#1405)
+
+As described in #1404, the explicit use of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX conflicts with using command-line --prefix.
+
+This simply removes all explicit use of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
+
+Otherwise this path will be duplicated:
+
+    $ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=inst ..
+    $ DESTDIR=inst ninja install
+    ...
+    -- Installing: inst/src/le/libevent/.cmake-debug/inst/include/event2/util.h
+    -- Installing: inst/src/le/libevent/.cmake-debug/inst/include/event2/ws.h
+    ...
+
+Fixes: #1404
