How do I use a make file or compile the source codes for open source software?

I really like using open source software (OSS). However, often times there are no binaries, precompiled installation programs or the executable program itself. Instead the sources, the files that contain the module files or the source codes, are provided with a few files called "make files". How do I use a "make file" or compile the source codes for OSS?

How do i contribute to an open source application?

I would like to do more than just reporting the bugs that i find on day to day usage of Open source software. Yet I do not exactly want to program for OSS because my programing skills are definitely lacking. What would be your suggestion Internet?
