the installation prefix so that it can be converted to an absolute

<p>Set the given variable <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">absvar</span></code> to the absolute path contained
within the variable <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">var</span></code>. This is to allow the computation of an
absolute path, accounting for all the special cases documented
above. While this macro is used to compute the various
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_<dir></span></code> variables, it is exposed publicly to
allow users who create additional path variables to also compute
absolute paths where necessary, using the same logic. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dirname</span></code> is
the directory name to get, e.g. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BINDIR</span></code>.</p>
<div class="versionchanged">
<p><span class="versionmodified changed">Changed in version 3.20: </span>Added the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><dirname></span></code> parameter. Previous versions of CMake passed
this value through the variable <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">${dir}</span></code>.</p>
