In the Fedora packaging we put virt-resize into libguestfs-tools-c,
but in the upstream sources the binary is built in the resize/
subdirectory.

Running ‘make’ builds all the binaries.

If you mean the binary is not being created during ‘make’, then it's
likely you have some missing build dependencies, most probably the
OCaml compiler.
