Okay, sorry for so many replies, but I figured out what's going wrong.
I simply did some exploring and found three executables: The first is
in the gedit folder, labeled "gedit." It didn't show my updates. The
second and third were both in the "bin" folder. One was labeled
"gedit," and didn't show my updates. The third was labeled
"gnome-text-editor" and did show my updates. Why are these in so many
places? I ran make clean before I configured anew... Anyway, problem
mostly solved, just with some odd new questions. Thanks for reading.

Unfortunately, those are the same steps I've been following, only I
haven't been specifying libdir. Is it necessary to run make and then
make install one right after another every time?
Anyway, my problem remains. The only things I've been able to see
noticeable changes for are gedit.c and gedit-debug.c. I want to work in
gedit-commands-search.c, but I can't get anything to show noticeable
changes. For example, I change line 142 to make it show "%s no found"
instead of "%s not found" when one searches and finds something wrong,
simply so I can see something different. I run "make;make install" and
it appears to compile and update the proper files, but when I test it
nothing has changed! I've done similar experiments where I remove the
interiors of functions. They compile, generally give me warnings, and
when I run tests on the executable everything seems unmoved by what I
thought were drastic changes.

Hi Larry,
Some tips to build gedit:
./configure --prefix=your_prefix --libdir=your_libdir
if you are working with the git version try ./autogen.sh
instead
of ./configure
then you have to do: make
and after that make install or sudo make install if your
prefix
needs root access.
Regards.

I'm

to open-source programming, and I'm still an amateur at using make.
I'm running into problems while trying to edit code. Whenever I edit
gedit.c, I can see my changes reflected in the executable after I type
"make." Other than that, my modifications don't do anything except for
compile. Is there another command I should be using that's not "make"
when I'm modifying code? I've been trying to edit
"gedit-commands-search.c," but to no avail. Any pointers will be
greatly appreciated. I'm using version 2.30.3.
