Make a test install in a temporary folder and see what it installs. Most packages support ./configure --prefix=/some/place so
mkdir /home/minm/tmp
./configure --prefix=/home/minm/tmp
make
make install
Then look in tmp and see what was installed. The default is for most packages to install in /usr/local so the same directory structure that was installed in tmp will be installed in /usr/local, or wherever you choose to install. You can get better control over where things are installed with other configure options. See ./configure --help for more details
