How to use makefile utility in Solaris

807559Jun 21 2007 — edited Jun 25 2007
Hi all,

I am new to Solaris platform, but have strong desire to play with Solaris.

I have downloaded many utility programs (source code version) for Solaris like LAN-Chat, UNRAR, Screensaver, etc
For example, I downloaded "xscreensaver-5.02.tar.gz" and unzipped to a folder.
I referred the readme.txt where i have been guided as follows to install.

1. ./configure
2. make
3. make install

But i get an error message in the second step while installing. Can i have a detailed explanation regarding[u] "How to Install" a software using the "MAKE" utitlity.

Thanks in advance,

regards,

Parasou.
