Re: [xacc-dev] Local XACC install

["McCaskey, Alex" <mccaskeyaj@xxxxxxxx>]

Hey Joseph, 

If you want to specify an install location, you should pass -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to your cmake command instead of the make command. I would run the following ( make sure you delete any previous content from you build directory first )

$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/xacc/install

$ make install

Best, 

Alex

I don't have a static IP address that could be whitelisted for access to the D-Wave systems so I instead used my University's lab computers. The downside is that I cannot do a global install because I lack root privileges. I'm trying to do a local install following the installation guide on the xacc github. 

$ cd xacc && mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake .. 

This part worked correctly, but when I try to do the final build it gives me an error saying I lack root privileges to write to /usr/local/share. I tried to use DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to change the install directory but it still gives the same error. Here's the command I'm running and the output. Let me know what I should do to complete a local install of XACC.

$ make install # can pass -j1 DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/xacc/install
