untar the sources, go into the source-directory, and than in a terminal
type:

scons

This will compile the source. If all went fine, you may - as root or
with sudo - install with:

scons install

If you want to have built a local debian-package with checkinstall, try
instead of the last command:

sudo checkinstall -D --pkgname="ardour-i686-local"
--pkgversion="2.7.4225" -arch="i386" scons install

The scons install command and the checkinstall-deb install the program
in /usr/local - so it can be used beside an official
Debian/Ubuntu-package

And have fun!
