build: Remove root check for make install. #231

Closed orbea closed 2 years ago

orbea commented 2 years ago

The first patch from PR https://github.com/bsnes-emu/bsnes/pull/131.

Removes the check disabling the install and uninstall checks when run as root. Some distros like Slackware build and create packages as root and there are tools like sandbox (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Sandbox) designed to catch programs that install out of the expected paths.

@Screwtapello Perhaps it will get the ball rolling focusing on one patch at a time?
