Ah! Interesting, thanks! Summarizing, we now have three approaches here: 0. Create build folder (all; not really necessary but prevents cluttering the source folders): mkdir build cd build 1. Use root privileges to install directly from binaries, into default location (/usr/local/): cmake .. make sudo make install sudo ldconfig 2. Use root privileges to install from package (in this case, a Debian/ Ubuntu package): cmake .. -DCPACK_BINARY_DEB:BOOL=on make make package sudo dpkg -i hugin-*.deb 3. Use normal user privileges to install in user directory cmake .. make make install DESTDIR=/some/non-root/dir Did I still miss anything (install from package into custom non-root directory maybe)?
