Jumping off of what @xlion said, I think the only “issue” is going to going to be the default bindir (/usr/bin) path as it’s read only. You’ll need to adjust this to a writable path under /var such as /var/opt/bin (you’d need to create the bin folder as it doesn’t exist by default).
If you can’t get make install to write to the correct paths, you might be able to just make it then manually copy the compiled program and config files into the neccassry paths.
