How to compile tar.gz files?

[puppyLUVER1234]

I have a file made up entirely of source code and i need to know how to compile it. The file is named spacetrek.tar.gz and i need the command to compile it.

assuming you've already downloaded, and made sure it's working, the relevant devx_xxx.sfs file for your pupversion, after unpacking the archive, the usual sequence is:

cd spacetrek
./configure
make
make install
