php - how to undo the actions of "make install"?

Is there a way to undo the actions of sudo make install? That is, remove the files that were copied to the /usr/local/bin folder?

I built PHP from source using the following commands:

cd /home/steve/php-src
./buildconf
./configure
./sudo make install

I assume make install is the command that copies the compiled code to the system wide /usr folder. I want to remove the PHP repo and all the compiled objects that were compiled from that repo and copied to system wide folders.

Solution:

make install is not a constant command that magically install a C project. It follows a spec. file that contains instructions to how make should behave that's called a "Makefile".

In order to undo what make install did, you must read the Makefile that's located under the project's root directory. see what install target does and create (if doesn't exist) a target (eg. uninstall) that reverses all that install does. (eg. remove installed file, detach Kernel hook, ...etc.).
