Wow this is an amazing idea !! Thank you so much !!

I didn't know I can give --prefix to make. Or did you mean to ./configure ?

and I didn't know there is DESTDIR for make install. great great tip !!!

So I can just do make install DESTDIR with the prefix of my platform
root filesystem,
right ? I don't have to do the package, right ?

Thank you so much for this!! it's a really great idea..
