Help on compile and test dpkg

[Gustavo Alkmim <alkmim@lrc.ic.unicamp.br>]

Hi,

I am starting now at the dpkg development. 

I download the sources from http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=summary in the snapshot link

How can I compile the sources modified by me and test it at my machine? 

Thanks,
