This is bad, as this way files can not be installed there and packaging of this software has to be done manually.

Please fix!

I mentioned that there was a comment by a different user to this effect in bug #234. I notice that since I referred to it, they have updated that bug (https://sourceforge.net/p/sv1/bugs/234/#82f8/ad0f/4824/25fb) to say "Nevermind, INSTALL_ROOT (as per qmake conventions) works". Is that sufficient for your purposes as well?

(I haven't tested this myself yet)
