Just for the record, GLIBC does support a DESTDIR installation, only you must use 'make install_root=DESTDIR install' (DESTDIR is whatever location you desire). Almost all packages support a DESTDIR installation in one way or another. The only issue is you need to run the 'make install DESTDIR="whatever" command as root, or unexpected things occur. Things such as some files not being created (GTK+, for example), SETUID/SETGID are not set properly, ownerships are not set properly, etc. The only problem with the make install as root is very rarely, the install target does not completely honor the DESTDIR location, and installs the file into /usr (or whatever prefix you choose). This is no issue for me, as I check to see if a file exists before I do the copy from the the DESTDIR location to the final destination. If it exists, I find out why (if I am not already expecting it). My Package Management solution uses DESTDIR and does everything I need (which are all the things you describe). I can uninstall a package using a simple command (though I would never uninstall GLIBC as you mention and Andy also recommends to avoid doing). > I've downloaded and installed fakeroot and fakechroot. > > Now my question how can i do make install on fakechroot, > > Makepkg of archlinux use fakeroot but nobody can't explain how it works Sorry, can't help you with these.
