build: Accept optional name argument with make install? #20033
Description
- Version: master
Can we accept another argument with make install?
It would help when we have a default global(system?) installation of node, and we want to build from source and install globally along with that.
The argument would help us do something like:
$ [sudo] make install NAME=node10
$ node10 -v // use it via the name provided
$ node -v // works with the default globally installed versionIf the argument is not provided, default to node

don't use make install then, it's really for putting a whole node+npm+headers combo in and if you only want the binary just manually mv it, it's in
out/Release/node
