Reading the other replies, I suspect you are talking about compiling
Debian source packages or something else, while make is not the only thing
coders do use, for make you usually have to run three command
configure
make
make install
resp. "make love, not install" - from another Linux user
configure
make
checkinstall
sometimes you'll use additions, such as
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
to give the pass where it should be installed, or you'll say how many jobs
should run etc., resp. for Debian you say how much jobs should run by
setting a variable, e.g.
CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=2
Configure will configure and usually check dependencies, make will
"compile" and make install will install, resp. checkinstall will build a
package. On Debian there are other ways to build packages too.

Ralf
