Yes, then 'make install'

I usually do:
1) extracting from the source
2) cd _samba_source_/source
3) ./configure --help | more #to see what I need and more specification on
intalling samba
4) ./configure --prefix=Prefix --with-? --with-? #[? what I need]
5) make all install #[or 'make' then 'make install' or 'make
all install']

As default testparm is in Prefix/bin and smb.conf will be read in
Prefix/lib, but there no smb.conf fin Prefix/lib.
There is smb.conf.default in  _samba_source/examples, copy it to Prefix/lib
to be smb.conf.
Edit it as you want. Now you can run Prefix/bin/testparm.
