./configure --prefix=/usr

make

at last, install the engine and the themes:

su -c "make install"
-or-
sudo make install

B) Building a debian package

apt-get install dpkg-dev dh_make libgtk2.0-dev autotools-dev gcc fakeroot debhelper

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

if built fine, install it:

su -c "dpkg -i ../gtk2-engines-terranova*.deb"

sudo dpkg -i ../gtk2-engines-terranova*.deb
