Either the person who wrote the makefile didn't write an installer part 
(e.g. because they expected it to be packed into an RPM) or you need to 
run the make in a subdirectory (likely src/).

Consider one of the following options:

 * search for an appropriate SuSE RPM;

 * pull a source RPM from another distro, install and rebuild it;

 * pull an older source RPM from SuSE and bolt the newer xine
   archive into it (done by putting the archive in SOURCES/ and
   tweaking the xine.spec file in SPECS/ to match).
