![]() Compile (compilation) process builds package's binary (aka: executable), etc file(s). So your next best option is: compile the source obtained from original author/developer, after you patched the source to make it compatible & compilable for your OS/distro. If original author shares only source, then that means author wants you to compile source. (Package's source (src) code/file needs to be compiled to build package's binary/executable (bin) fileā®). So in such cases, next best option is: obtain the (src/bin) package from original author's website for your OS/distro via secure conneciton. But often OS/distro dev or computer MFR does not update their pre-included packages, or uses older version, or does not include option for user to obtain other/related packages (from OS/distro dev or computer MFR). ![]() Notice/CAUTION : Usually most of the time, using source (or binary) packages distributed from primary/original author/developer is much much better than next-level (aka: downstream) package distributors: like, OS/distro developer (dev), computer MFR (manufacturer), etc distributed packages, And usually most of the time OS/distro dev's or computer MFR's distributed package is better than 3rd-party Package-Manager (pkg-mngr) maintainer distributed package.
