  • Are you asking to compile packages from tarballs (*.tar)? –  Feb 22 '12 at 06:19
  • What source file? There is no readme or install.txt inside it? – Rinzwind Feb 22 '12 at 07:47
  • You have to use dpkg and dpkg-source, however I have done it very long time ago and can't remember right now step by step instuctions. However googling those commands would be much help I think. – Misery Feb 22 '12 at 08:17

Here is what you need to do...

Decompress the tra/gzip file

Go into the decompressed directory

Look for files like: README or INSTALL. These files usually contains the instructions to install the source code.

If no such instructions are mentioned then follow these steps:

./configute ./make ./install

This should help you.
