Hi,

I see this in checkinstall:

===

INSTALLCMD=("$@")
[ -z "$INSTALLCMD" ] && INSTALLCMD=(make install)

...

shell_escape "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" >> $TMP_SCRIPT

cat << EOF >> $TMP_SCRIPT
# Report success or failure
if [ \$? -eq 0 ]; then
   exit 0
else
   exit 1
fi

EOF

# No one needs to see what we are doing. It's safer this way.
chmod 700 $TMP_SCRIPT


echo
echogn "Installing with %s..." "${INSTALLCMD[*]}"

...

   $TMP_SCRIPT &> /${TMP_DIR}/install.log

===

so it looks to me that checkinstall may call "make" itself under
some circumstances. I apologise if I am reading it wrong.

Thanks,

James
