I've been confused by this at various times in the past, but here's
approximately how I compute things now (and I haven't been scolded in
a while :).
$ wget tarball.tar.bz2
$ du -b tarball.tar.bz2 | awk '{print "size: " $1/1024 " KB"}'
$ start=$(du -bs . | cut -f1)
$ tar -xf tarball.tar.bz2
$ ( cd tarball && do stuff && make DESTDIR=`pwd`/dest install )
$ end=$(du -bs . | cut -f1)
$ echo $end $start | awk '{print "build size: " ($1 - $2)/1024 " KB"}'
Converting to MB as necessary.
