Thanks, I will give it a try. I still believe the '-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=' setting should behave as expected. When I executed the compiled kicad, the GUI opened but then failed because it was searching for images in the /usr/local/... directory. This is just wrong.
That being said, it is a very minor issue which will not impact many people. And if there is a workaround then it is even less important. Perhaps if I have some free time..... Many thanks to the KiCad community for all that everyone has done.
