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

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.
