Question / Help Place libraries in /usr/lib64?

Hi there. First, let me say that so far OBS has worked great for me under Slackware64 14.1. It does everything I need it to, and while it does occasionally crash it is at least predictable, and has never done so during a stream. In fact my one complaint is that no matter what I do I cannot get OBS to install it's libraries under /usr/lib64 to follow the Slackware standard (very important for multilib systems like mine). Is there something I'm missing, or are alternate library locations just not possible at this time?

Set OBS_MULTIARCH_SUFFIX accordingly.
Also, don't use a plain make install to install it.
cmake does not generate an uninstall target. Generate a package using something like checkinstall instead, or build a portable version by setting UNIX_STRUCTURE to false.

Thank you very much, that worked perfectly. And yeah, I've been building a package each time. This is actually the project that got me to sit down and learn how to do it by hand.
