This is a very bad idea. Files installed on your system are supposed to be
managed by pacman. By doing a make install you are putting yourself in the
exact same situation you were before: pacman will complain when installing
the package because of file not owned by the package already present.

There is 2 different AUR ML:
aur-dev which is this one and is dedicated to development of the
application running the AUR.
aur-general which should be used for discussion about AUR content.

This current email should be acceptable both in aur-general or in
arch-general. aur-general because Texstudio is provided on the AUR.
arch-general because your question is mainly related to pacman usage.
