First of all I'm pretty sure there are packages available precompiled. However 
if you want to build the software from source (I do) here are some tips.

1) do configure and make as user! If you do su then you may find root is not 
configured for all your desktop settings. Also if you build in user space you 
will not be able to rebuild as a user since you won't have permissions.

2) If you still have no targets then you have a tarball that has not had the 
makefiles made or some issue with your configuration. If so run this...
make -f Makefile.cvs
That will make your make files. then configure and make.

3) su to run make install unless you are using a home directory custom install 
path.

That should help. Check out Kommander too as a tool to extend Quanta.
