How are you configuring? With a CMake GUI or a command line tool? If with a gui, set the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in the gui. If with a command line tool, pass -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:STRING=/blah on the command line.
To workaround this entirely, invent your own CMake variable that CMake knows nothing about, and then use SET with CACHE, INTERNAL *and* FORCE to set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to your variable's value.
