Where to run the 'configure' command for a 4.x member server

Hi,

I wanted to fresh up the 'Joining Active Directory as a Domain Member Server' 
HowTo on the wiki for 4.x. So it was the first time, I had to compile samba 
4.x as a normal member server (not as DC). And there a (maybe stupid) question 
came up:

On 3.x I run the 'configure' from inside the source3 directory. Is this still 
the same, if I only need a normal member file server (smbd/winbind) with 
version 4.x?

For testing I configure/make/make install from the source3 directory and the 
fileserver seems to work like expected on a first test.

I only wanted to know if this was the right 'configure' or if the one from the 
top level of the sources should be used in this case too, like when compiling 
for an DC.


Regards,
Marc
