i normally install things from the repository of debian by "apt-get install" however just need to know if in case circumstances push me to compile things at some point.so the question that i am asking is just for learning purpose. i have seen on youtube people first un-tar the package (e.g. spamassassin) then they some time run "make" command only without any parameter at the end of it and then in next command they run "make install" so the question is whats does that first "make" command does, why we do not directly use "make install"
