You might try 'cd src ; make id'
Before ./configure
Code:
[cepido@localhost src]$ make id
cc     id.c   -o id
id.c:20:20: fatal error: config.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [id] Error 1
[cepido@localhost src]$ echo $?
2

After ./configure
Code:
[cepido@localhost src]$ make id
  CC       id.o
id.c:26:29: fatal error: selinux/selinux.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [id.o] Error 1
[cepido@localhost src]$ echo $?
2

Code:
[cepido@localhost src]$ rpm -qf `which passwd`
passwd-0.78-1.fc14.i686

seems passwd utility resides in passwd package Smilie

Try make src/id from the main dir then.

Hi guys and sorry for very long reply and for weird questions Smilie
My goal was to modify particular binary from package and compile only particular binary, because this is less time consuming than compile whole package.
Now I am able to do it: ./configure && make && cd src && change something in binary.c and compile it via make binary_name.
Thanks all for patience and sorry again for weird questions.
