Looking at the script SETUP.sh the obvious one is ths HOME setting but
There are other instances of /opt being used and I suggest that a new variable
be setup say $HOMEROOT set as =/opt

With all the scripts vars using /opt changed to use HOMEROOT.

So now we have two vars near the beginning that need to be changed when the
--prefix param is used in configure somehow.

If that is done then the SETUP script will work.

Just a question of working out how 

.. and now I do not know how configure work in order to try it.

Any one volunteering ?
