CheckInstall will run make install (or whatever you tell it to run) and keep track of every file modified by this installation.

When it is done, CheckInstall will create a package and install it as a standard package. It will leave you a copy of the installed package in the source directory for your re-use.

Bug: recipe for target ‘cmake_check_build_system’ failed ∞

Debian 9.9.0-i386-xfce-CD-1 has 1.6.2-4 (i386) which exhibited this bug. This solution was tested and worked on 2019-07-07.

Makefile:1288: recipe for target 'cmake_check_build_system' failed
make: *** [cmake_check_build_system] Segmentation fault

\sudo  \apt-get  remove  checkinstall
\git  clone https://github.com/giuliomoro/checkinstall
\cd  checkinstall
\sudo  \make  install

I then used that new checkinstall on itself, to make my own checkinstall_20190708-1_i386.deb
