Now on with the build:

make
make install
make -jX

where X is the number of available cores. Depending on your platform,
this can speed up the build time considerably.

Then you can directly run from the build directory:

It may take a little while to build depending on your platform.
./output/bin/qgis

Another option is to install to your system:

make install

After that you can try to run QGIS:

$HOME/apps/bin/qgis

If all has worked properly the QGIS application should start up and appear
on your screen. If you get the error message "error while loading shared libraries",
on your screen. If you get the error message "error while loading shared libraries",
execute this command in your shell.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${HOME}/apps/lib/

Optionally, if you already know what aspects you want in your custom build
then you can skip the interactive ccmake .. part by using the cmake -D
option for each aspect, e.g.:

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${HOME}/apps ..

Also, if you want to speed your build times, you can easily do it with ninja,
an alternative to make with similar build options.

For example, to configure your build you can do either one of:

ccmake -G Ninja ..

cmake -G Ninja -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${HOME}/apps ..

Build and install with ninja:

ninja (uses all cores by default; also supports the above described -jX option)
ninja install


3.8. Building Debian packages
=============================

Instead of creating a personal installation as in the previous step you can
also create debian package. This is done from the QGIS root directory, where
also create debian package. This is done from the QGIS root directory, where
you'll find a debian directory.

First you need to install the debian packaging tools once:
