[DelazJ]

Yes Saber this is what i'm being told in irc. And it works. Thanks
pfiuuu! Two days I'm struggling and "googling" things here and there. I
should have asked here earlier
This information needs imho to be available in the
http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qgis/QGIS/master/doc/INSTALL.html
instructions

QGIS Community rocks,

> So, I followed these instructions, regardless Qt4 title:

> - create the same folders at the same places
>
> - run "ccmake .." indicate the $home/apps folder as destination folder for
> the application (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX)
>
> - run "make"
> -  and then run "make install", showing many lines that point to my apps
> dir. I get a failure due to right access to some folder (I don't know why).
> So I run "sudo make install" which went till the end with no failure (that
> i can see)
>
> But when all this finishes tens of minutes later, my home/apps dir remains
> EMPTY. No QGIS to launch!
