but i think it’s similar to all linux
here are the steps:

#sudo cp yourprogram /usr/local/src
#cd /usr/local/src/yourprogram
#sudo ./configure
#sudo make
#sudo make install

if the configure process said error, it is mean the program need other dependencies.
use this command to get them
#sudo apt-get install yourdependencies

or search first
#sudo apt-file search yourdependencies.pcfile
