[Feature Request] Provide an "install" Makefile target #433
Comments
What would you expect |
What would you expect `make install` do for toot?
To install it for usage.
Installing from source is not a recommended way of installing it for usage.
Why ? Ability to install for usage from source is my way to evaluate
if a software project is worth contributing to.
Installing from sources is the most independent way to install
software. Any packaging system is on the shoulder of someone else
and can become unavailable at some point, while the sources are
always with me as far as I obtained (and the license allows me
to further distribute it).
Please keep this simple if you can

I was happy that
make
worked, but disappointed not to find amake install
.The good thing about standards (these are covered by the GNU Coding Standards) is that you don't need to know the details of a specific package to build and install it, would be nice if this was the case here too.
