Best practice for make files?

I currently have two projects, one being a shared library and the other an application
The problem I am facing is that I need to compile and install the library then run an ldconfig before attempting to compile the application(dependency)

What would be the best practice for a one time command(compiles&installs everything)?

Should I make a bash-script that compiles and installs the library(via the makefile) and then compile & install the application? In this case he has to run as root

Should I force the user to compile & install the library 1st and then then application(each having their own makefile)?

NAME
install_name_tool - change dynamic shared library install names SYNOPSIS
install_name_tool [-change old new ] ... [-rpath old new ] ... [-add_rpath new ] ... [-delete_rpath new ] ... [-id name] file DESCRIPTION
Install_name_tool changes the dynamic shared library install names and or adds, changes or deletes the rpaths recorded in a Mach-O binary. For this tool to work when the install names or rpaths are larger the binary should be built with the ld(1) -headerpad_max_install_names option. -change old new Changes the dependent shared library install name old to new in the specified Mach-O binary. More than one of these options can be specified. If the Mach-O binary does not contain the old install name in a specified -change option the option is ignored. -id name Changes the shared library identification name of a dynamic shared library to name. If the Mach-O binary is not a dynamic shared library and the -id option is specified it is ignored. -rpath old new Changes the rpath path name old to new in the specified Mach-O binary. More than one of these options can be specified. If the Mach-O binary does not contain the old rpath path name in a specified -rpath it is an error. -add_rpath new Adds the rpath path name new in the specified Mach-O binary. More than one of these options can be specified. If the Mach-O binary already contains the new rpath path name specified in -add_rpath it is an error. -delete_rpath old deletes the rpath path name old in the specified Mach-O binary. More than one of these options can be specified. If the Mach-O binary does not contains the old rpath path name specified in -delete_rpath it is an error. SEE ALSO
