configure and make

Hi

If you have a software installed and then you change the source code (not adding library, just few command in a file). have you also to follow the same procedure:

./configure
make
make install
??

Or make and make install is enough?
Do you suggest to remove the old one before install the new one or it replace it automatically?

Thx

Dedalus

In theory make followed by make install should be enough.
