The real heroes of our time are devs who include an uninstall target in their makefile

    (If you run into similar problems and there are no package targets / packages available, check out checkinstall)

    @Alice true. Also McđŸ”. I swear that thing has "sleep(64973794618115) #Fuck you" somewhere in their uninstaller

    I don't think so.

    DESTDIR=/tmp/test make install
    make uninstall

    What will happen? What about PREFIX? How is the uninstall target supposed to know?

    Something like "Checkinstall" is far more useful.
