Then do the following. touch now make install find / -newer now > t Now you have a file called 't' that contains the names of all files that were created by the install among other things like log files and such. By and large this will work with most plain source distributions. BTW it's not too hard to make packages out of stuff that you install from source. Section 4.4.1. of the handbook talks about making a port yourself.
