Hello,
I find using Guix to be much better than the ./configure && make &&
make stuff. The reason is, that I always think: "What, if it doesn't
work and I want to clean up my system afterwards?". I can't stand it,
if any remains of non-working stuff is left on the system.
cd
make -p does-it-work/foo
./configure --prefix=$HOME/does-it-work/foo
make; make check; make install
# try it ...
# you like it, keep it or redo the above with what ever $prefix
# suites you
# you don't like it
rm -rf $HOME/does-it-work/foo
fwiw,
David
Hi David!
That seems like a good option! Thanks.
I guess I would still depend on the Makefile to be properly written to not put
stuff elsewhere. But then again I might be relying on that anyway, when
installing things using Guix.
