So where do you run this make command from? And where did you run 
configure from?

As Kelly said the errors indicate variables are not set which indicates 
to me that either configure did not run correctly, or your entry point 
to make is not right.

My MO for builds is:

mkdir <myoutputdir>
cd myoutputdir
configure ...
make images
