There is a standard location for sources, as is for libraries and includes. In Cygwin it's /usr/src. In some other Linuxes it's /usr/local/src. I have been compiling lots of source distributions over the years. I am not aware that you have to move or copy Makefiles. As far as I know you just need to: cd /usr/src/yournewapp ./configure make make install With the last command, all configuration files are automatically put in the right folders.
