even though checkinstall is buggy and old, when it works it's great.
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
40And the true nerds will install from the AUR, btw.
5Mfw I look at the releases section of a new cross platform application
5LFS users (so fucking nerds)

Just check what
make installdoes21Joke is on you, my distro doesn't allow me to install from tarball because everything is installed into the Nix store
17*laughs in NixOS*
6"installing from tarball" is simply moving files around
3I 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 /*" >> makefile8Makefile is capitalized, dummy sneaky fox. This will create a new file.
-1Yes, 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.10
install
Did you mean "moving binary files to
/usr/bin"?7Just make a package next time. It's easy if you use Arch, btw.
4grep /usr/bin/install Makefile | awk, I don't know, try fields till it looks right, then xargs rm -i and pray for the best
3This is a solved problem.
2I just do 'locate [name of a related file]' and that's it. Pipe it into less if you can't scroll on your terminal
1Just role back
