That sounds like a Linux distro specific startup file. It is not part of
the hostapd source code package and as such, 'make install' does not

Which file name? The configuration file?

You can run hostapd, e.g., with hostapd -B /etc/hostapd.conf
(assuming you put the configuration file in /etc directory)
