Distributing package after make install

I have just added an extra linux instance to my AWS account and going through the installation of node again so I can run my server.

The steps are

./configure
make
sudo make install

which is taking way too long.

My question is - is there a standard way to output or tar the output of this sequence so I can install from prebuilt binaries on my other instances?

Maybe you can use "checkinstall"

http://www.asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/index.php

It is some kind of "install to 'deb' or 'rpm'"-tool.
