Mimick the actual rpm build process by doing
# DESTDIR=/var/tmp/package-root make install
for *most* Makefiles that should install the package as
if /var/tmp/package-root was the root of the file system.
This will show
you where all files are. You can then place them in the
%files section,
and or separate %files sections like *.h => %files devel
for the devel
package etc..
