What files did `make install` copy, and where?

Question

Is there a way to get a list of filenames/paths that make install copies to the filesystem? Some packages come with a MANIFEST file, but not the ones that I am

Answer 1

make uninstall might show the files as it removes them if the author of the compiling instructions provides the information to allow an uninstall (it has been awhile since I have done one so I can't say for sure).

Also make -n install will do a "dry run" of the install process and it may be reasonable to extract the information from its results.
