First, to compile, you need the source code. Given you have it, look for the README file for dependencies and instructions.
Generally, the procedure is as follows:
./configure
make
sudo make install

thank very much for ur reply. I have the source code 8139too.c, but there is no configure and make file with that.

Instead of that i compiled my entire custom kernel with 8139too module, now it's works for me. Do u mean the same thing ?
