Hi Alex,
You could probably pass the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX option.
For example:

If I have a dependency (e.g. SDL2) that seems to work with add_subdirectory
just fine, should I still use ExternalProject_Add instead? Given both ways

I don't know about Windows, but then you might have a team that shares a

ExternalProject feature instead of building this external dependency over
and over again.

If your project is open source and you want to have any chance of it ever
being included in any of the major Linux distros without making somebody
very angry at you, forget about add_subdirectory() for external
dependencies.

They are two different things entirely.
add_subdirectory is used when you have a project structured hierarchically
in directories and subdirectories, but you want the entire project
configured at one time.
ExternalProject is used to download, configure and build a project that is
a prerequisite

In a SuperBuild, all projects, even your own, are built by one large
super-build project that contains a series of ExternalProject_Add calls.
That's all there is to it.

This is rather a large and complex project and the way they do somethings
