Bug#618724: feel++: FTBFS with unwritable home directories

Package: feel++
Version: 0.90.0-2
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

Automated builds of feel++ are failing, AFAICT because they typically
run with unwritable home directories:

CMake Error at feel/feelfilters/CMakeLists.txt:42 (file):
  file problem creating directory: /home/buildd/feel/geo


CMake Error at feel/feelfilters/CMakeLists.txt:43 (file):
  file COPY cannot copy file
  "/build/buildd-feel++_0.90.0-2-i386-FlgGiA/feel++-0.90.0/feel/feelfilters/feel.geo"
  to "/home/buildd/feel/geo/feel.geo".

I expect you should be able to work around those errors by running
cmake with HOME set to a directory you create within the build tree
(and clean up afterwards); however, you might also want to raise the
issue with upstream.

FWIW, it also complains about not being able to find some things, but
those don't appear to be as big a deal; certainly, I only see the two
explicit "Error"s.

Could you please take a look?  You can find a full log at

Thanks!
