>You are right Sandeep, I face same problem to. Apply "./configure

The idea of creating the make directory is that you generate the new (executable and other related files) in this 'make' directory so as to keep files organized. So to meet that purpose, you can run './../configure --cache-file=config.cache' from within the 'make' dir. If you run the make command outside of 'make' dir, there is no use of creating the 'make' dir.
