Installing on Linux (after building)

I've successfully built LibreCAD (current "master").  My question is about how to install it.  Normally I'd do "sudo make install" at this point.  That exists, and "succeeds" in the limited sense that it doesn't produce any errors, but it doesn't appear to do anything.

All the instructions I've been able to find just say "the generated executable is at ./unix/librecad" or variants thereof -- no mention of an install procedure.  (Pages consulted:

)

Is there a recommended way to install globally on the system?
