 Build directory ${build_directory}/ created.

 To compile GRASP you need to cd into ${build_directory}/ and run make:

    cd ${build_directory}/
    make install

 which installs the GRASP binaries to the bin/ directory.

 Note that you also probably want to enable parallel build by passing -j to make:

    make -jN install

 where N is the number of cores you have available.

 Note: remove the build/ directory and rerun ./configure.sh to completely redo the configure step.
