Coming from the ms world, i always installed programs
by pressing a button. i suppose the programs were in binary form.
With freebsd I often see the  make  command associated w/installing.
if someone could just briefly explain make, make install, and make clean?

Some apllications need a file lock dir. what is this for?

Thanks
