[BUG] Failed to build & install using CMake and Make; including Ninja

Small example:

[100%] Linking CXX executable ../bin/ktailctl
[100%] Built target ktailctl
+ RPM_EC=0
++ jobs -p
+ exit 0
Executing(%install): /usr/bin/bash -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.8SZGxq

CMake Error at build/src/ui/components/cmake_install.cmake:52 (file):

  administrative privileges.
Call Stack (most recent call first):

I also tried the Ninja method with no luck ...

The package has also been uploaded to OBS.

Full details mentioned in attachments:

ktailctl.spec.txt
KTailctl.log
cmake_install.cmake.txt

What should one do?

This looks like a permission issue during the install phase. I assume you are running the install (make install etc.) after with an installation prefix that your current user does not have write access to. From the snippet you shared it looks like the installation prefix is /usr which would require root privileges to write too. Also you probably want to install into these directories.

I have never used this OBS service. I assume you followed these instructions: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_system_recipes#cmake right?

The main distribution mechanisms for KTailctl are flatpak and Nix flakes/packages. But it would be cool to get packages for other distros this way.

I think I will need some time to wrap my head around this first

This link might be helpful https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Tutorial, maybe you can try make install DESTDIR=%buildroot instead of cmake --build (or changing the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in the configure phase).

Well,

AS FAR AS I KNOW - each software builders are automatically done in an isolated fakeroot - RPM Build, PKGBUILD, Debian Build, etc. ... so I would expect everything going "smoothly" without any permission issues, but I shall try that without the /usr/ prefix ...

Because the CMake.Install file is generated right after cmake -S ... -B ... so I have no idea where you could change it beforehand directly from SOURCE.
