Makepkg fakeroot failing

Question

I wrote a little program that I want to add to the AUR.
After I completed the sources, I created a makefile, that works. ($make and #make install needed).
I then made a tarball of the sources.
Here are the build and install functions of the PKGBUILD I use for this project:
build() {
cd "$srcdir/"
make
package() {
cd "$srcdir/"
make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install
However, when I run makepkg, makepkg occurs an error within the fakeroot environment.
The makefile tries to install directly to the root in stead of to the fakeroot, like this:
install -m 755 hiberbat /usr/bin
install: cannot create regular file `/usr/bin/hiberbat': Permission denied
make: *** [install] Error 1
[1m    Aborting...(B[m
I already tried putting install -m 755 hiberbat ./usr/bin in the makefile.
What am I doing wrong?

Your install target needs to explicitly use DESTDIR:
install:
install -Dm755 hiberbat ${DESTDIR}/usr/bin/hiberbat
install -Dm644 hiberbat.conf ${DESTDIR}/etc/hiberbat.conf
install -Dm744 ./rc.d/hiberbat ${DESTDIR}/etc/rc.d/hiberbat
@echo "=> Hiberbat has been installed."
@echo "=> Add 'hiberbat' to your deamons array in rc.conf to use it."
I'd also recommend that you package your source files in a subdirectory inside the tarball ($pkgname-$pkgver/).
