Ah, now I get it. Different target directories.

The build.sh installs everything into the install-root, including Subsurface. 
I agree, that's a design choice when writing that script that could be
re-thought. 

So yes, our cmake infrastructure does correctly know how to install on
Linux. But our build.sh script doesn't necessarily install where the user
expects to find things.
