For those small few that do not, using the "prefix" variable usually works: make prefix=/tmp-dir install The suggestions made by the other poster may also work. Sometimes the INSTALL or README file describes a special way to install the files into a temporary directory for packaging purposes (e.g. netpbm or HylaFAX). But for those rare packages that don't follow the standard method, a note sent to the author explaining the importance of including DESTDIR may bring about a change.
