Once the subversion repository has been downloaded, cd into the mpd dir, and use the script:

./autogen.sh 

This creates and runs the ./configure script.

For more options on compiling extra libraries in:

./configure --help 

After this has completed to compile the binaries run the command:

make 

To install the binaries to the default locations run this command:

make install

To install to a different directory, use the DESTDIR argument:

make install DESTDIR=/alternateroot 

The DESTDIR argument is handy in that it doesn't affect the linking of the binaries, and allows for binaries to be placed in different directories without having to run the ./configure script again.
