<p>Because I'd have to re-install it after each change to the code.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>You still have to <code>make</code> after each code change anyway, but since the install to a non-system prefix doesn't need to be done with sudo, just doing <code>make install</code> will do both <code>make</code> and <code>make install</code> all in the one command.</p>

<p>Also I can't move it, that's less of an issue but still annoying.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Yes its not movable, and it isn't supposed to be.</p>
