Once you install everything into custom directory, you should also run desktop
environment from that same custom directory (maybe as chroot), and it will find
them.

'rpm' tool, of course.


But in general passing --prefix=/usr/some/place/ should create all directories,
including icons, under that dir. This is the responsibility of the caller to
pass the right directory.

Practically speaking, on FreeBSD configure is called approximately like this:
> CC=clang CFLAGS=... LDFLAGS=... INSTALL="install <args>" configure --prefix=/usr/ports/<portdir>/<pkgname>/work/stage/usr/local

And this installs everything into
/usr/ports/<portdir>/<pkgname>/work/stage/usr/local
Which is later copied by system under /usr/local
