How to compile a distribution on Github for Debian?

Question

linux

Hello connoisseurs! I ask you to help a beginner Linux user in compiling from Github. The challenge is:
You should try to install fdk-aac either from source or using the debian package: https://packages.debian.org/fdk-aac and the compile and install ocaml-fdkaac from source: https://github .com/savonet/ocaml-fdkaac hopefully, liquidsoap should pick up the dynamic module at start up once you've run make install in ocaml-fdkaac
I completed the first part of the task (installing fdk-aac from the repository), but I can’t understand the second part, since I have never done compilation from source before. Please answer point by point what tools need to be installed and how to compile correctly? You can even throw a link at me that details this process for Github :)
System: Debian 7.9 (amd64)

Answer 1

Well, follow the link: https://github.com/savonet/ocaml-fdkaac
Everything is written there - what is required, how to compile.

Answer 2

Github is just a repository of source code. Compiling code taken from it is no different from regular compilation. In addition, there is even a readme:
Compilation:
============
$ make all
This should build both the native and the byte-code version of the
extension library.
Installation:
=============
$ make install
This should install the library file (using ocamlfind) in the
appropriate place.
