I have read what is in the README.adoc and done all of it.
Unfortunately, even with BUILD_ALL_USER_AGENTS=0, my computer would
still freeze. I had to opt to not build the gwt ui instead. I hope
it's not too important :P.
Build went on fine. Ran into this issue:
install: cannot create regular file
'/usr/local/etc/logrotate.d/ovirt-engine-setup': Permission denied
install: cannot create regular file
'/usr/local/etc/logrotate.d/ovirt-engine-notifier': Permission denied

So usually I'd solve this by running as root, but since you've advised
against it, what should I do to give the normal user permission to run
this operation since the folder is owned by root and the group is
staff? My looking through other responses to similar situations
indicates to me that giving the non-root user access to this folder
isn't recommended. What would be the best solution in my case?
