6.62.1. Installation of Make

Prepare Make for compilation:

./configure --prefix=/usr

Compile the package:

make

The test suite needs to know where supporting perl files are located. We use an envronment variable to accomplish this. To test the results, issue:

make PERL5LIB=$PWD/tests/ check

Install the package:

make install

Installed program: make

make

Automatically determines which pieces of a package need to be (re)compiled and then issues the relevant commands
