Not much ;-), you just took my notes a bit too serious...
Namely:
 ~/NBB/INSTALL_SOFTWARE/DIGIKAM4/graphics/
is a path on my machine, where I put all software installation
related stuff (actually, I even forgot, why I used NBB, maybe
this stands for NotBeingBackupped or so ...).
So you need to adjust this to  the path where your
graphics checkout is done. Even better would be
to just to everything relative (i.e. with cd .. etc.,
as you did before).
Then it should hopefully work fine ...
