[CMake] Why does ExternalProject require root access?

[Luigi Calori]

I' m not sure of which are exactly your problems but I probably had 
similar ones:
I use to have a meta-project which assembles all the needed external 
project set up to download,configure,build and install.
I setup for all the project the same CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and the same 
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ( passed as cmake configure options with -D)
For configure based project you need to use the --prefix option

If this assumption can work for you,  let me know,
I can try to figure out something useful out of my mess of 
external_project cmake-based builds
