Don't change `prefix' at install time.
You should only set prefix with configure.
And if you try, it will say:
configure: error: expected an absolute directory name for --prefix:
../myinstalldir
It's DESTDIR that you may change at install time:
https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html
And as has been said, that should be absolute too.
