If I change the installation prefix to /usr, my compiled unity version will replace my system version, and if I make any mistakes in the source code I will need to re-install unity from the repositories to be able to log in again.

Your hint helped me to identify the problem I was running cmake like this 
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCOMPIZ_PLUGIN_INSTALL_TYPE=local -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/staging/ -DGSETTINGS_LOCALINSTALL=O
If you notice there is a missing N at the end so I added it and every thing worked perfectly.😊
There is one problem, when I run my compiled version of unity I cannot use Ctrl + Alt + T to open the terminal, should I report this as a bug and where? One more thing could you tell me where can I find the unity entry point, I mean the first line of code executed in the unity package?
