Actually, that should be

make all && make install

or (under Unixoid system and running as a normal user):

make all && sudo make install

Before doing a "make install", please check "default.mk" for where it 
tries to put things.  You can override this by creating a file 
"local.mk" which just has definitions for those variables that you want 
to change (most of the time, just "prefix").

The installation is put into its own sub-directory "org" by default, if 
you've had a previous installation "flat" in site-lisp, you either need 
to remove those files or also install "flat" again - otherwise you will 
very likely pick up stale files from the previous installation.

If you are brave, there is a non-documented target "clean-install" that 
will remove those files, but you should make doubly sure that lispdir 
and infodir point at the right place (run "make -n clean-install" and 
check which files make would remove if you ran it without "-n").

It is currently easier to test this from Git, since the makefile 
actually assumes a Git directory to be able to get at the version 
strings.  If you get bitten by this, please change the following lines 
in default.mk:

GITVERSION      = $(shell git describe --abbrev=6 HEAD)
ORGVERSION      = $(subst release_,,$(shell git describe --abbrev=0 HEAD))
GITSTATUS       = $(shell git status -uno --porcelain)

to

GITVERSION      = "release_7.8.03-Makefile
ORGVERSION      = "7.8.03"
GITSTATUS       = ""

I'm currently not able to rebase the branch on repo.or.cz, but you can 
do this yourself if you have your own local branch and also mirror the 
normal orgmode.git:

git remote update
git rebase local-Makefile origin/master

(Hope I got this right, I'm currently not able to test it myself :-)
