Add $DESTDIR to the install command and while at it also create the directory, should it not exist already. This eases the packaging of kcpuid and allows i.e. for the install on Arch to look like this: $ make BINDIR=/usr/bin DESTDIR="$pkgdir" -C tools/arch/x86/kcpuid install Some background on DESTDIR: DESTDIR is commonly used in packaging for staged installs (regardless of the used package manager): https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html So the package is built and installed into a directory which the package manager later picks up and creates some archive from it. What is specific to Arch Linux here is only the usage of $pkgdir in the example, DESTDIR itself is widely used.
