Should i use sudo when doing ./configure;make;make install?

[amfzn]

Hello, not being logged-in as a root, but as a regular user who is in sudoers.
Should i prefix the ./autogen.sh, ./configure, make, make install
commands by "sudo"?
or this can be security problem. I rather trust the developer of the SW.

Hi there, use ./autogen.sh, ./configure and make as your normal user, but prefix "make install" with sudo to install the program files to /usr/local (which is root-owned).
