After some talks with falktx I publiced new version, which has Makefile and (by my own initiative) Debian-related files. Since build system may store several builds, e.g. with various prefixes, Makefile manages by default last created build. To change default build run: $ ./configure --default-build=build_name Or run $ ./configure --builds to get list of available builds. Also, install script now has one argument to override install root (default is "/"). E.g., if you type: ./configure --prefix=/usr --buildname=build ./install ~/packages
