You just change into the ext/src direcotry and than execute
phpize && ./configure && make
Then you get the compiled extension for PHP in the Modules subdirectory
(created by those commands).

You can ask PHP to use multiple directories to look for its extensions
using the php.ini, but best is to use the 'main tree' of PHP to install
it. This is usually done using make install

After make has run you just need to copy it where you want it to be or
run make install if it's to be installed to the PHP main place. There
should be options to choose that place though - just look at the
generated configure of phpize. HTH.
