(You might need to be superuser/root to do "make install" in the end)

In general it must be something like:
1. copy "add-on" directory to /where/your/grass/source/is under the
respective generic module category

e.g. for i.pr it would be:

 cp -r i.pr /where/your/grass/source/is/imagery/

2. configure grass

cd /where/your/source/is/

./configure #with your parameters

3. go to the "add-on" directory and "make it"

e.g.

cd /imagery/i.pr

make

4. back to grass source directory

make install

Hope this helps (as it helped me once when somebody told me how make it)
