The source is available at:
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/linkt/files/

I compiled linkt myself. 2.5 years ago.

linkt-0.8rc3.tar.bz2 has debian/rules.
Just trying. With debuild.
Depends on automake 1.6 which is not available for my ubuntu system anymore.
Editing debian/control and changing automake1.6 to automake1.10. Running
debuild again.
Stops compiling in
  In file included from /usr/include/fcntl.h:205,
                 from bin.cpp:40:
  In function ‘int open(const char*, int, ...)’,
    inlined from ‘void BinRX::lookForLine(char*, int)’ at bin.cpp:615:
  /usr/include/bits/fcntl2.h:51: error: call to ‘__open_missing_mode’ declared with attribute error: open with O_CREAT in second argument needs 3 arguments

Hmm, fcntl.h, line 205 shows:
  "/* Define some inlines helping to catch common problems.  */¶
   #if __USE_FORTIFY_LEVEL > 0 && defined __extern_always_inline \¶
      && defined __va_arg_pack_len¶
   # include <bits/fcntl2.h>¶
   #endif¶
  "
Don't know what's exactly the problem here.
-> Insert in the files linkt/
bin.cpp, channel.cpp, didadit.cpp, gpg.cpp, passwords.cpp, userinfo.cpp, yacc.cpp
_before_ the line
  #include <fcntl.h>
the line
  #define __USE_FORTIFY_LEVEL 0

In passwords.cpp, line 520: you need to change
  char *tmp, tmp2[3];
to
  const char *tmp;
  char tmp2[3];
because the compiler is more pedantic nowadays.

Another debuild error is thies:
dh_movefiles: Compatibility levels before 5 are deprecated.
dh_movefiles: debian/tmp/usr/share/applnk/Applications/HamRadio/linkt.kdelnk not found (supposed to put it in linkt)
make: *** [install] Fehler 1
dpkg-buildpackage: Fehler: fakeroot debian/rules binary gab Fehler-Exitstatus 2
debuild: fatal error at line 1340:

I'm running out of time today. Don't be interested in linkt.kdelnk.
-> delete in the file debian/linkt.files the line
   usr/share/applnk/Applications/HamRadio/linkt.kdelnk
Same for debian/monkt.files the line
   usr/share/applnk/Applications/HamRadio/monkt.kdelnk

-> works!

Yes, I can confirm that paxon is running in wine.
But native linkt is the nicer way.
