Wrong. `make clean` is about deleting compiled object files, binaries and other generated stuff; deleting from the source directory, that is. If a makefile implements a target which balances `make install`, it's called "uninstall", so one could try running `make uninstall`.

If there's no way to create a package, at least a tool like checkinstall should be used to generate a poor man's package out of `make install` invocation, so that its results could be then reverted. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
