What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/Sayonara
2. make
3. make install

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expected installation against my $CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX

instead:

installed in /

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

wget http://sayonara-player.googlecode.com/files/sayonara-player-r695.tar.gz

on Debian 7 x86

workaround:

after first:

cmake .

edit the file:

cmake_install.cmake

than edit the line:

# Set the install prefix
IF(NOT DEFINED CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX)
  SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX "/")

in

# Set the install prefix
IF(NOT DEFINED CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX)
  SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX "/opt/Sayonara")

then

make && make install

worked for me

And the icons are loaded correctly, too? Atm the paths are hardcoded inside the 
player. E.g. language-paths, icon-paths, plugins etc

I have to think about a better concept, but in this version an alternative 
installation path is not supported actually. 

I will change it and I will let you know

This is no bug. I excluded those files intentionally. Those files have to be 
placed in those directories. Otherwise your Linux installation won't find the 
icons. Sad but true

This is true in case you need to provide a general root installation to all the 
OS.
But you can take into account the case of a compile/installation into a 
specific non "root" folder like $HOME.
In this case you can provide a specific option at configure time and or read 
some XDG related environment variable where the packager can read/write into.

You can retrieve:
$XDG_DATA_HOME that defaults in to $HOME/.local
where you can put al the /usr/share/icons /usr/share/applications 
/usr/share/pixmaps 

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to $HOME/.config

so you can build you own $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Sayonara folder just reading the 
environment freedesktop.org variable 

$XDG_CACHE_HOME defaults to $HOME/.cache

this will help also to unclutter the $HOME folder and let you less hard-coding 
the path at code/compile/debug time
the $HOME will be freed from the huge dot files
objects will be more portable and standard (backups will be very easy for 
automatic backup software)
