Default locations must be set before compilation using "./configure"
You need to run "./configure --localstatedir=/var"
run "./configure --help" for all configure options
Actually thees are general make options, but i recommend to look at
dovecot specific too.
...and. it is good idea too, to adjust other file locations (like
--bindir, --libexecdir, etc) to match your system
layout.> Thank you
