No. In most projects, simply running "make" will compile everything but not install it, while "make install" will install everything that needs installing - compiling it first if necessary. That said, I would normally run the two commands separately, because projects don't always get the dependencies right, such that the install step may try installing something that hasn't been built correctly.
