So can i say in other words that if applications built using say GTK
application built using glade which automatically creates Makefiles
must use always
make install DESTDIR=%{buildroot}
and not %makeinstall

AND if upstream package developer himself written a Makefile then he must use
%makeinstall ??

I need explanation on my understanding.
