Using checkinstall instead of make install
Posted: Wed Jan 20, 2010 5:13 am
Hi, sorry if this seems dumb but I don't know much about compiling from source. Is there a way to use checkinstall instead of make install when compiling?
Normally I use checkinstall because it makes adding and removing the program a lot easier. I tried substituting checkinstall in place of make install -f makefile.linux and got this error:
From what I can see there is no way to specify the makefile with checkinstall.
Does anyone know if it is possible to install with checkinstall?
