Summary: I run 'make' but nothing happens

Initial Comment:
I'm a complete newbie - my hard drive crashed and I
took the opportunity to switch from Windows to Linux.
I've had no training, no reading, and I know no experts
near me. I managed to get red hat 8 installed on the
5th try and here I am. I've administered Windows
networks for 5 years and worked on Windows systems for
8 years. I'd like to move away from M$, but I really
need some step-by-step help. It's greatly appreciated. 

What I'm trying to do is this:

1. Download and update rdesktop from the rh8 version to
the latest version. When I say newbie i really mean it.
I've downloaded the rdesktop 3 to my
/home/kashi/Downloads folder. I've unpacked it to
/home/kashi/Downloads/rdesktop3/rdesktop folder. Now
what? I'm used to M$, where I double-click a setup file
and click next 20 times and run the program.

2. Connect directly to my windows xp computer at work.
normally I can do this by connecting to

remote.mydomain.com:8041

I connect to port 8041 instead of the regular terminal
server port 3389 with the M$ RDC (RDP5). Is there a way
to do this with rdesktop? With any version of rdesktop?

3. Get out of full screen mode? I connect in full
screen mode and can't get out of it without
disconnecting. I saw something that said ctrl-alt-enter
would do it but that didn't work for me when running
the rh8 version of rdesktop.

well first make sure that you have installed the gcc compiler 
plus make. then goto the rdesktop folder and run configure for 
your makefile
./configure
if there is no error run make
a file named rdesktop is built....
that should do it :)
