[Shotwell] Building shotwell from trunk

[David Velazquez]

Thanks for the tips but I did not want to install shotwell to the system
directories. Call it stubbornness :)  Is there anyway to install it locally
like Bengt suggested, in ~/unstable/shotwell

I thought I had been specifying the prefix in ./configure which is why I
attempted to run make install without sudo. Does make accept the prefix
parameter like ./configure does?

There must be a way to install without sudo here. I've done it for programs
like deluge in the past which normally require root powers to install.
