pro-file's INSTALLS variable and make uninstall

[roxton]

Actually, INSTALLS works fine:

TARGET = bin/tea
target.path = /usr/local/bin
INSTALLS += target

TARGET = bin/tea
target.path = /usr/local/bin
INSTALLS += target

and qmake generates a makefile with this lines:

install_target: first FORCE
	@$(CHK_DIR_EXISTS) $(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/local/bin/ || $(MKDIR) $(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/local/bin/ 
	-$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) "$(QMAKE_TARGET)" "$(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/local/bin/$(QMAKE_TARGET)"
	-strip "$(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/local/bin/$(QMAKE_TARGET)"
 
uninstall_target:  FORCE
	-$(DEL_FILE) "$(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/local/bin/$(QMAKE_TARGET)"
	-$(DEL_DIR) $(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/local/bin/

install_target: first FORCE
	@$(CHK_DIR_EXISTS) $(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/local/bin/ || $(MKDIR) $(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/local/bin/ 
	-$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) "$(QMAKE_TARGET)" "$(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/local/bin/$(QMAKE_TARGET)"
	-strip "$(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/local/bin/$(QMAKE_TARGET)"

uninstall_target:  FORCE
	-$(DEL_FILE) "$(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/local/bin/$(QMAKE_TARGET)"
	-$(DEL_DIR) $(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/local/bin/

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The problem is - I don't need the last line. How to disable the attempt to remove the installation directory? Let's assume that my binary is installed to /usr/local/bin. Make uninstall trying to remove this dir as well as the binary file. What I can do to prevent such action?

AFAIK, the DEL_DIR command is a simple rmdir (you may check in your qmake.conf) which will NOT remove a dir unless it is empty so that shouldn't be a problem.
