Typically (or most often with GNU software) you run a configure
script. There is literally a script called 'configure' in the tarball.
The configure script generates the makefiles for you.

GNU software comes with README and INSTALL files. You should check
them for instructions on building and installing the software. For
non-GNU software you have to look through the files provided in the
tarball.

I'm not familiar with SBCL. If it is https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl,
then it looks like you may need to run install.sh. See the INSTALL
file for details at https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl/blob/master/INSTALL.
