How to append prefix to program and library in the command line?

Usage
1

I attempted to compile LibreSSL using CMake for my self. LibreSSL serves as a drop-in replacement for OpenSSL, thus it may conflicts with the original OpenSSL. My intention is to use LibreSSL exclusively for my own programs, without affecting other software. AFAIK, libressl in Arch Linux packages uses --program-prefix to specify a prefix for LibreSSL to prevent name collisions, but it is a option in autotools. I am wondering to know if there is a similiar mechanism within CMake?

See CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX

Sorry, perhaps I didn’t make it clear and you midunderstood it.
I mean I want the library (.so .dll etc) and program (.exe etc) start with a prefix, not specify an install directory.
e.g. I configured libressl with the following command.
../libressl-3.9.2/configure --program-prefix=libressl-
I will get libressl-openssl libressl-ocspcheck instead of openssl ocspcheck.
Sorry again for my mistake.

try something along the lines of

    set_target_properties( target
      PROPERTIES
      PREFIX "prefix" )

For my own solution:

# inject.cmake
string(TOLOWER "${PROJECT_NAME}" LIB_PREFIX)
set(LIB_PREFIX "${LIB_PREFIX}-")
set(CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX "${LIB_PREFIX}")
# Other codes uses LIB_PREFIX

And then apply -DCMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE="${srcdir}/inject.cmake" to cmake command.
It’s strange that I can’t just use -DCMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX directly.
Thanks for the inspiration.
