Once configure has determined the features of your system, all we have to do now is

make 
This will clean all the directories of previous object files (if any), compile both profiling and non-profiling versions of the source code, build all necessary libraries, and link both a sample Fortran program and a sample C program as a test that everything is working. If anything goes wrong, check Section Problems to see if there is anything said there about your problem. If not, follow the directions in Section Submitting bug reports for submitting a bug report. To simplify checking for problems, it is a good idea to use
make >& make.log & 
Specific (non-default) targets can also be made. See the Makefile to see what they are.

After running this make, the size of the distribution will be about 20 Megabytes (depending on the particular machine it is being compiled for), before building any of the examples or the extensive test library. The Makefiles are built for the various example subdirectories, but the example programs themselves have to be made ``by hand''.
