In general that's not true, you can just allow some specific commands via sudo. But of course, in this case it's true since the makefile could contain any command you want. Assuming the install operation requires a fixed set of commands, you could - make a script 'install_oot' doing exactly what is required, - block all user access to this script, - allow users to run it - and nothing else - via sudo.
