started out with the command...
./configure && make && sudo make install

creating config.status

VPATH = .
prefix = /usr/local
exec_prefix = $(prefix)
bindir = $(exec_prefix)/bin
datadir = $(prefix)/share
infodir = $(datadir)/info

OK. Now you can run make.
g++  -Wall -W -O2 -c -o arg_parser.o arg_parser.cc
g++  -Wall -W -O2 -c -o block.o block.cc
g++  -Wall -W -O2 -c -o ddrescue.o ddrescue.cc

g++  -Wall -W -O2 -DPROGVERSION=\"1.5\" -c -o main.o main.cc
g++  -o ddrescue arg_parser.o block.o ddrescue.o logbook.o main.o

Here I just get returned to the prompt
