To be able to use Xen on your OS you need to

1) Compile Xen
2) Compile a Dom0 Kernel which can work with Xen

But both of the steps are not needed if your Linux distributer
distributes them as a binary or rpm or deb package.
You did not mentioned your OS where you are doing.

I use Ubuntu
wget http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/4.0.1/xen-4.0.1.tar.gz
Move the downloaded xen-4.0.1 tar ball to /usr/src. Unpack Xen
hypervisor to /usr/src directory

sudo tar -xzvf xen-4.0.1.tar.gz
At this point you should see a directory

xen-4.0.1 in /usr/src

Now go inside the Xen-4.0.1 folder and do following

sudo make xen
sudo make tools
sudo make stubdom
Then


sudo make install-xen
sudo make install-tools PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG=
sudo make install-stubdom

Now at  this point you should have in /boot directory following files


xen-4.0.gz
xen-4.gz
xen.gz

and Xen is installed on your laptop.But it is not usable at this
point.Now you need to compile a Dom0 kernel.

some places on internet you will find a step
make world  <- Do not use it
if you are using make menuconfig sort of approach
because then you are compiling a Dom0 kernel yourself.
