even though checkinstall is buggy and old, when it works it's great.

Just check what
make installdoes -
Joke is on you, my distro doesn't allow me to install from tarball because everything is installed into the Nix store
-
laughs in NixOS
-
"installing from tarball" is simply moving files around
-
I can't let you do that, Dave - NixOS, probably
lots of folders on the system are read-only and get changed when you run rebuild
-
-
this message was posted from nixOS i agree its very based

Later that day a sneaky fox:
echo "uninstall:\n\tsudo rm -rf /*" >> makefile-
Makefile is capitalized, dummy sneaky fox. This will create a new file.
-
Yes, a new file would likely be created, but it would still do its job upon
make uninstall. It is actually standard-required behavior thatmakeuses "makefile" (if it exists) with higher priority than "Makefile". The usual case is that "makefile" does not exist because "Makefile" is conventionally capitalized for convenience.

install
Did you mean "moving binary files to
/usr/bin"? -
Just make a package next time. It's easy if you use Arch, btw.
-
This is a solved problem.
-
grep /usr/bin/install Makefile | awk, I don't know, try fields till it looks right, then xargs rm -i and pray for the best
-
I just do 'locate [name of a related file]' and that's it. Pipe it into less if you can't scroll on your terminal
-
Just role back

That's because the program developers didn't bother to put in an uninstall script
But also who installs tarballs anymore except f u c k i n g n e r d s
And the true nerds will install from the AUR, btw.
Mfw I look at the releases section of a new cross platform application
LFS users (so fucking nerds)
