[hackers] Makefiles

the Makefiles do

install: all
        @echo installing executable file to ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/bin
        @mkdir -p ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/bin
        @cp -f dwm ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/bin
        @chmod 755 ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/bin/dwm
        @echo installing manual page to ${DESTDIR}${MANPREFIX}/man1
        @mkdir -p ${DESTDIR}${MANPREFIX}/man1
        @sed "s/VERSION/${VERSION}/g" < dwm.1 >
${DESTDIR}${MANPREFIX}/man1/dwm.1
        @chmod 644 ${DESTDIR}${MANPREFIX}/man1/dwm.1

why not use install to make it simpler?

install: all
        @echo installing executable file to ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/bin
        @install -m755 -D dwm ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/bin
        @echo installing manual page to ${DESTDIR}${MANPREFIX}/man1
        @install -m644 -D dwm.1 ${DESTDIR}${MANPREFIX}/man1
        @sed -i "s/VERSION/${VERSION}/g" ${DESTDIR}${MANPREFIX}/man1/dwm.1
