The correct way to run "make"

[Android66]

Often you need to specify values, like for postgresql:

make PREFIX=/some/other/dir

And here's another question. I always use the same options for make, 
make install and make clean, ie:

make PREFIX=/some/other/dir
make PREFIX=/some/other/dir install
make PREFIX=/some/other/dir clean

This is because I noticed that some ports (I forgot which one I was 
having this experience with) need these options in order to install and 
clean correctly as they generate the package name based on the options 
specified. Is what I'm doing OK or is there another, 
beter/simpler/easier way to do it?
