make[1]: *** [Makefile:130: install] Error 1
make: *** [GNUmakefile:400: all] Error 2

Why does make try and install without my permission? why does it not put these files in ../build_linux/

if I do:

$ cd ../build_linux
$ make

It works, but then It can’t find the python modules that would otherwise be in /scripts and then crashes.

I’ve spent like 2 hours compiling and testing different things and I have no clue why this happens.
