The location is dictated by the KAuth framework, which in turn gets it from 
PolkitQt. I assume you use KAuth framework provided by your distribution, so 
it sets KAUTH_POLICY_FILES_INSTALL_DIR as /usr/share/polkit-1/actions. You 
could try passing -DKAUTH_POLICY_FILES_INSTALL_DIR=/your/prefix/share/
polkit-1/actions to cmake to try to override it, but I'm not sure if it will 
work.

Other option is to self-compile polkit-qt and kauth framework so that they 
point to your prefix by defaut.

The easiest workaround is to temporarily make /usr/share/polkit-1/actions 
writeable for all.

CMake is looking into LD_LIBRARY_PATH/cmake/ folder for config files, so you 
need to add your prefix to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, i.e.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/your/prefix/lib(64?):$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

This way CMake will first look for packages into your prefix (i.e. for those 
you compiled yourself) and will fallback to using the ones provided by your 
distribution in /usr otherwise.
