ROS packages are built using catkin_make, or some similar tool. See the catkin documentation, many tutorials and API documents are listed there.

  • http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials/CreatingPackage
  • http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials/using_a_workspace

That should teach you how build this or any other ROS package.
