nonono! That's too fast! No, no! I'm scared! Terrified! Make was one thing but make install? I need to call my therapist, the anxiety is taking over again!

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !unixporn@lemmy.ml

The configure script is responsible for getting ready to build the software on your specific system. It makes sure all of the dependencies for the rest of the build and install process are available, and finds out whatever it needs to know to use those dependencies.
If you or don't program, or you install programs through a Software Manager or use Flatpacks, this isn't really a part of your life.
