"make install" disregards ./autogen.sh --prefix=$DIR #38

Trying to build the whole MATE desktop as a non-root user.

make works fine. The make install fails. As far as I can tell it tries to copy .gir files into the wrong directory.

errorlog.txt

Failure at this step means build of mate-panel fails later on.

Closing this issue because @raveit65 closed similar issue @ https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-panel/issues/484 I still don't understand why only those two packages require to be root to install, but I accept that this is a fact of life.
