What planet are you living on? ;-) Here on Earth, most software builds with
just:
./configure
make
make install
(Even more if you accept "qmake", "qmake-qt4" or "cmake", again with no
required arguments, as a configure step.)
Sure, you _can_ pass CFLAGS, if you need to pass stuff like the RPM_OPT_FLAGS.
But the package should compile with the default CFLAGS, in particular headers
and libraries are supposed to be figured out automatically. (That's what
the "auto" in "autotools" means. And other build systems, while not
carrying "auto" in the name, are supposed to work the same way.)
