compiling generally follows this order:

Code: Select all

./configure
then

Code: Select all

make
then

Code: Select all

sudo make install
May be different, most attach a ReadMe file you should read before starting. You should also make sure you have build-essentials installed.. And what trouble do you have with resolution and mouse?

It might be easier if you tell us what you are trying to compile?

Both GTK and Metacity can be tricky to compile, since they are thoroughly integrated in GNOME, I would suggest starting with something easier... And all documents I could find about it were old posts in Ubuntu forums.
