makepkg.conf the same as make.conf

Simple question really, is makepkg the same as make? If I add in CFLAGS will they be used when compiling packages from source or does makepkg just work when using makepkg.

Re: makepkg.conf the same as make.conf

makepkg is for compiling from source but the settings from makepkg.conf won't be used if you run

./configure && make && make install

by hand (and it doesn't create an Arch package), they are used when you run 'makepkg'.

'less /usr/bin/makepkg' will show you what 'makepkg' is.

From the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg
makepkg is a script that automates the building of packages; it can download and validate source files, check dependencies, configure build-time settings, compile the sources, install into a temporary root, make customizations, generate meta-info, and package everything together.

Arch != Gentoo
makepkg.conf != make.conf
