Now, as the root user: 

export GMAKE_NOWARN=true &&
make INS_BASE=/usr DEFINSUSR=root DEFINSGRP=root install &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/cdrtools-3.02a07 &&
install -v -m644 README* ABOUT doc/*.ps \
                    /usr/share/doc/cdrtools-3.02a07

Command Explanations

export GMAKE_NOWARN=true: This variable avoids a warning when using GNU make.

INS_BASE=/usr: This parameter moves the install directory from /opt/schily to /usr.

DEFINSUSR=root DEFINSGRP=root: These parameters install all programs with root:root ownership instead of the default bin:bin.
