CheckInstall(8) System Manager's Manual CheckInstall(8)
NAME

SYNOPSIS
checkinstall [options] [install command]
DESCRIPTION
checkinstall is a program that monitors an installation procedure (such as make install, install.sh ), and creates a standard package for
your distribution (currently deb, rpm and tgz packages are supported) that you can install through your distribution's package management
system (dpkg, rpm or installpkg).
Note that for most useful actions, checkinstall must be run as root.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes ('-'). A summary of options is

As an example, to disable stripping use --strip=no.
