[linux] Make install, but not to default directories? 

make DESTDIR=./new/customized/path install

This quick command worked for me for opencv release 3.2.0 installation on Ubuntu 16. DESTDIR path can be relative as well as absolute.

Such redirection can also be useful in case user does not have admin privileges as long as DESTDIR location has right access for the user. e.g /home//
