Spoiler:
Code:
Scanning dependencies of target copyfiles
[100%] Copying installer files to temporary location...
Error copying file "location-NOTFOUND" to "/home/user1/builds/temp_folder/Sigil/".
make[3]: *** [copyfiles] Error 1
make[2]: *** [src/Sigil/CMakeFiles/copyfiles.dir/all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [src/Sigil/CMakeFiles/makeinstaller.dir/rule] Error 2
make: *** [makeinstaller] Error 2
This is just a guess, but it's probably trying and failing to find the libphonon library, which sigil doesn't need and isn't present (I think) in Ubuntu 11.10.

If you edit ./src/Sigil/CMakeFiles/copyfiles.dir/build.make to comment out the line where it's trying to copy location-NOTFOUND, I think it will then work. But it's been a while since I tried it, and YMMV.
