well if its build in dep file then you most NOT use dirs that says local, if
you build like freebsd where "make install" then you must use /usr/local, this
is to prevent make install not overwriteing os files

in linux if i make with:

./configure
make
make install

then it should use /usr/local as MBSE_ROOT (prefixing)

/opt is for systems that does NOT use make install
