Just a quick note for interested readers: you don't need to explicitly mark things as .PHONY in make, unless your Makefile lives next to files/folders with the same name as your targets. So unless you had some file called "install" in the same folder, you wouldn't need to have something like ".PHONY: install".


That's the right thing to do, so you should. Relying on implicit condition of specific file missing in current directory is very wrong IMO.
