There is no $KICAD_PATH in the cmake configuration files. There is CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX that defaults to the appropriate platform path for using `make install`. This can be changed when configuring cmake if your not happy with the default. Relative to CMAKE_INSTALL_PATH, what is the sub-directory that the python scripts need to be install in to ensure the they can be used without any additional user configuration?
