Just type "make" and everything is handled. Of course there are some nice new features hidden behind the simplifications as well. Try "make help" to see all the things you can do. One potential pitfall is that "make xconfig" now needs the QT graphics libraries installed. The "make gconfig" command is a little closer to the old version.
