--- Comment #4 from Maurizio Paolini <paol...@dmf.unicatt.it> --- (In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #3) > Well, you are not using a separate build directory.

I think the "old style" sequence ./configure make make install separated build stage (all user-owned files) from eht "install stage" (everything new is owned by root). One question: even if I have permissions to create root-owned files in my home, still it seems to me that mixing user-owned with root-owned files in the same place (be it /tmp/ or the user /home/user) is not wise. But I guess this is a cmake issue. Another approach would be that the install_manifest.txt be created with "user" as the owner... > cd /home/user > git clone kig > mkdir /tmp/kig-build > cd /tmp/kig-build > cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr /home/user/kig > make > sudo make install > cd /home/user > rm -rf /tmp/kig-build I tried to report this issue to the cmake developers.
