Installing Xcape (question involving the "make" command)

Question

I executed the minimal building directions of xcape:

$ sudo apt-get install git gcc make pkg-config libx11-dev libxtst-dev libxi-dev
$ mkdir xcape
$ cd xcape
$ git clone https://github.com/alols/xcape.git .
$ make

But when I press xcape it says xcape: command not found. It errors even when I'm in the xcape folder with a program that seems to be called xcape inside it. Why is this?

Have you logged out, and back in again to update your `$PATH`? — eyoung100, Oct 03 '14 at 14:35

Have you tried ./xcape ? You have to execute it this way, because the location is probably not defined in the $PATH variable.
