well ............ YES! warnings means that It build. But errors means it
does NOT build neither install (here)!
So yes It does matter.
When you build something as soon as you face an error don't go any further
because it is saying to you "sorry I did not manage to do what you wanted me
to do"
So begin by solving those errors.
When I launch a command line (whatever It does) the first thing I do is to
check that It worked.
How? by looking for an error message. If so generally there is an hint to an
explanation.
This is the problem in your case :

undefined reference to `Marble::GeoDataTypes::GeoDataFolderType
even if you did not wrote this code...

not very surprising if you understood what I said. it is because the
building process did not succeed so the install one too!

Don't try to do what the INSTALL routine is intend to do, unless you know
what you are doing.

By this I mean the installed versions of those.

So for your lock situation you have to build marble successfully and for
this I don't understand why you  did not..
Can't help more than that. Sorry.
