Typically, you use make to create applications from sources, almost all C / C ++ applications provide a make file that describes what and how to create it.
In general, you would have typed
./configure
make
make install
They will:
- run the configure script shell to set up your build environment by installing things like the processor and OS you are using.
- use the standard makefile that comes with the project to create the source code.
- use the special “install” target in the makefile to copy the necessary files to their final resting places.
Edit: Here is a brief description of the process from the Linux Documentation.
