If you've changed the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, then you can 
safely run 'make install'. If you've chosen a directory under 
/home/alobo then you shouldn't even need sudo to install.

Then, with sudo privileges, create a soft link /usr/bin/qgis7 
pointing to
  /home/alobo/apps/bin/qgis (or wherever the qgis binary got 
placed)
