apt-get --compile source

is supposed to download the source and

apt-get --compile source

is supposed to download it and compile it.

If youdon't want to download it twice (why would you want to?) just skip
the former:

# export CC=gcc-3.2 -Wall -O2 -mcpu=pentiumpro
# apt-get --compile source gqview=1.0.2-1
# dpkg -i gqview.deb
