You will get the relevant binary files in /bin/ in your build dir.

i am new in OS development can you tell me the location of the bin directory..

thank you very much..

This is not so much OS dev knowledge than basic UNIX knowledge.

The directory you ran "./configure" and "make build" should have a subdirectory called bin.

$ ./configure

$make build
make: *** No rule to make target `build'. Stop.

but it is working when
$ make
is entered.
but there is not any bin directory is created.

then ./configure is not working

the whole point of automake is to make you a makefile which knows the standard commands - build and install being the key ones.
