Static lib is not installed when LIB_INSTALL_DIR is specified

I'd suggest to double-check the actual value of variable LIB_INSTALL_DIR set by CMake in the cache. Using the spell you wrote, it seems to assign the absolute path, while the description says it should contain a relative path. With a minor modification, this works for me:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/tmp/mt32" -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=lib -Dlibmt32emu_SHARED=OFF ../

<skip...>

Install the project...
-- Install configuration: ""
-- Installing: /tmp/mt32/lib/libmt32emu.a

<skip...>

Indeed, it uses an absolute path. With -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR=lib, the build directory is getting prepended, so it ends up as <build_dir>/lib.

-DLIB_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=lib on the other hand does the right thing.

In any event, I'm not sure this should be called LIB_INSTALL_DIR? The standard name for this in most software that uses cmake is CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR. See:

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/GNUInstallDirs.html

See the code on master branch ;)

Ah, oops. Forgot to check current git master. I use munt as a git submodule and have it pointed to the latest libmt32emu tag.

This bug report is actually invalid then, because on current git master, -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR=lib works just fine anyway, as does -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib.

Sorry for the noise :-P

No problem
