make install copies the files you have just compiled in the final 
directories.  It must be always used after make.

In your case, you want to copy files from one machine to another.  This 
works only if the two machines are more or less identical, with the same 
software etc., since programs depend on libraries (which need to be 
installed), configurations, even hardware sometimes.  On Windows too, 
simply copying word.exe to another machine does not work.
