I think if you use a Debian system, the best thing is that you
install packages via apt.

If you want to use the latest release of any software (like
Hamlib), you can download the source and compile it - but with
the installed components. Eg. you use the installed compiler, and
dependent libs.

If you want to compile Hamlib, you should try to review this
section:

https://github.com/Hamlib/Hamlib#recompiling

and as this section stands, this file:

https://github.com/Hamlib/Hamlib/blob/master/INSTALL
