How do I use a make file or compile the source codes for open source software?

I really like using open source software (OSS). However, often times there are no binaries, precompiled installation programs or the executable program itself. Instead the sources, the files that contain the module files or the source codes, are provided with a few files called "make files". How do I use a "make file" or compile the source codes for OSS?

How can I edit open source code and building the application?

I would like to to edit open source codes and building as applications. I’m wishing to edit entire operating system of linux in future. But unfortunately I know only a little bit of C++, and I don’t know how to building applications from source codes. So i wish to move step by step from a simple software. Where can I download open simple source codes? and How can i compiling it as applications?
