You need to do 'make' then 'make install' (make install as root). 
There is actualy quite a lot of other things you need to do like
(probably) recompile your kernel with suport for your TV / video card.
Have a look at the mythtv documentation and goodl for myth howtos.
Getting the sources from apt is probably better than downloading them.
 You can then do 'apt-get build-dep mythtv' to get all the
dependencies for building myth.  In fact using apt package binaryes
will save you a lot of hastle.
