Files built but never installed

[Peter J. Acklam]

While building Octave on Solaris 9 I got a message telling that
"makeinfo" and "tex" was not found, so I installed TeTeX and
rebuilt Octave.  I created lists of the files made during the
various steps and realized that with TeX installed, the following
files were made during the "make" step, however they were not
installed during "make install".  Why?  Here are the files:

    /var/tmp/octave-2.1.57/doc/interpreter/octave.dvi
    /var/tmp/octave-2.1.57/doc/interpreter/octave.ps
    /var/tmp/octave-2.1.57/doc/liboctave/liboctave.dvi
    /var/tmp/octave-2.1.57/doc/liboctave/liboctave.ps

My build dir was (obviously) "/var/tmp/octave-2.1.57".  Is there
any reason why these files are not installed?  If the files aren't
installed, why build them in the first place?

The steps I used for building Octave were

   ./configure LDFLAGS=-R/usr/local/lib --disable-readline
   make
   make check
   make install
