Ok I've found a solution by myself. Basically I just used the trick showed in the Technical FAQ and put a bunch of install commands in the do_install task. Now the only problem I have is that the do_install task for target complains that needs administrative privileges (maybe I'm just doing it wrong, I'm still not that experienced with Yocto). | [100%] Built target boosttest-test-livestatus | make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/matteo/boxio/toradex/colibri-imx6ull/build-boxio-colibri-imx6ull/tmp-glibc/work/cortexa7t2hf-neon-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/icinga-core/2.12.0-r0/build' | /home/matteo/boxio/toradex/colibri-imx6ull/build-boxio-colibri-imx6ull/tmp-glibc/work/cortexa7t2hf-neon-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/icinga-core/2.12.0-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_progress_start /home/matteo/boxio/toradex/colibri-imx6ull/build-boxio-colibri-imx6ull/tmp-glibc/work/cortexa7t2hf-neon-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/icinga-core/2.12.0-r0/build/CMakeFiles 0 | make -f CMakeFiles/Makefile2 preinstall | make[1]: Entering directory '/home/matteo/boxio/toradex/colibri-imx6ull/build-boxio-colibri-imx6ull/tmp-glibc/work/cortexa7t2hf-neon-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/icinga-core/2.12.0-r0/build' | make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'preinstall'. | make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/matteo/boxio/toradex/colibri-imx6ull/build-boxio-colibri-imx6ull/tmp-glibc/work/cortexa7t2hf-neon-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/icinga-core/2.12.0-r0/build' | Install the project... | /home/matteo/boxio/toradex/colibri-imx6ull/build-boxio-colibri-imx6ull/tmp-glibc/work/cortexa7t2hf-neon-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/icinga-core/2.12.0-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/cmake -P cmake_install.cmake | -- Install configuration: "Release" | CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:36 (file): | file cannot create directory: /usr/share/doc/icinga2.

this just means that its not able to relocate the install location to ${D} which is what default do_install should do. So the package needs some work to respect an option to relocate the installation directory once you have that then you can specify that vi OE_EXTRACMAKE += "-D...=${D}" or some such. That could be a fix sent to upstream as well otherwise your fix it ok too for your needs.
