You can redirect commands individually, as people have shown. But to
easily log the whole thing, I'd recommend "script":

shell-prompt$ script mutt.log
Script started, file is mutt.log
sh$ ./configure --whatever
sh$ make
sh$ make install
sh$ exit
shell-prompt$ ls mutt.log
mutt.log

"Script" starts a new shell. Anything on the stdout or stderr in that
shell gets duplicated to the log file. You "exit" to terminate the log.
