10 There usually is a "make uninstall", too.

12 But I suggest to use stow, or better, xstow, to install software. It goes
13 like this:
14
15 cd myproject-1.2.3
16 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/myproject-1.2.3
17 make
18 su
19 emerge xstow
20 make install
21 cd /usr/local/stow
22 stow myproject-1.2.3
23
24 Now you have symlinks in /usr/local, as if you installed into /usr/local
25 directly. To uninstall, issue a 'xstow -D myproject-1.2.3' and
26 remove /usr/local/stow/myproject-1.2.3. All clean and tidy again.
