The usual way to build and install is:

   % cd libmad-0.15.1b
   % ./configure
   % make
   # make install

   % cd ../libid3tag-0.15.1b
   % ./configure
   % make
   # make install

   % cd ../madplay-0.15.2b
   % ./configure
   % make
   # make install

(The order is important; you must install libmad and libid3tag before  
configuring madplay.)

The default is to install under /usr/local, i.e. /usr/local/include  
for header files, /usr/local/lib for shared library files, and /usr/ 
local/bin for executables.

If you want to install somewhere else (e.g. /opt/mad), you can do so  
like this:

   % cd libmad-0.15.1b
   % ./configure --prefix=/opt/mad
   % make
   # make install

   % cd ../libid3tag-0.15.1b
   % ./configure --prefix=/opt/mad
   % make
   # make install

   % cd ../madplay-0.15.2b
   % ./configure --prefix=/opt/mad CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/mad/include  
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/mad/lib
   % make
   # make install
