Actually, I think it would be much nicer, if you had some
cd ..
at some before in the script so that
kdegraphics and graphics are below /home/hardy/digikam-notes/
(and not one below exiv2 ....).

This should be one line reading:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$DIGIKAMKDE4  \
../../graphics &&

I.e., no && before the ../../graphics

Let's first see if the above works ...
