Compiling and Installing QGIS

Once properly configured simply issue the following commands:
    make
    make install
NOTE - As of version 0.1, you can no longer run QGIS from the src directory. You must do a make install and start QGIS from the installed location. In the case of the example above, the QGIS binary resides in the bin subdirectory of the directory specified with the prefix option (/usr/local/qgis/bin).

For information on using QGIS see the QGIS User Guide.
