Depends on your system. It mostly a matter of setting a proper --prefix
directory for configure, but other paths are configurable as well. I
usually check what the official distribution package for Dovecot is
doing and use that as a basis.
For Debian I use the following configure command:
./configure --with-ldap=plugin --with-ssl=openssl --with-sql=plugin
--with-lua=plugin --with-pgsql --with-mysql --with-sqlite \
--with-gssapi=plugin --with-solr --with-ioloop=best
--enable-maintainer-mode \
--prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libexecdir=/usr/lib
--localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/share/man \
--infodir=/usr/share/info
--with-moduledir=/usr/lib/dovecot/modules --disable-rpath --disable-static
Regards,
Stephan
