If $prefix/share/applications doesn't exist, just create it. A XDG_DATA_DIRS setting specifies where to search for applications/*.desktop files[1], and it defaults to ~/.local/share, /usr/local/share and /usr/share on my system. That setting may not be easy to find out. And I don't think a script can determine it automatically when e.g. someone wants to install Vim to /opt and has that file placed where they want.
