CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX needs an argument which is where you want FFTW installed.
The Default value for CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX on Unix type machines is /usr/local.
So your CMake code needs to have something like
ExternalProject_Add(
fftw
SOURCE_DIR /home/stratton/Public/ppml/external/fftw-3.3.3
CONFIGURE_COMMAND <SOURCE_DIR>/configure ${CONFIGURE_PARALLEL_FLAG}
CMAKE_ARGS -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/stratton/Public/ppml/FFTW
PATH=$DEPLOY_DIR/FFTW
BUILD_COMMAND make
)
