compilation - Compile from source - how to add a separately compiled dependency without doing make install

Question

I want to compile a program from source. ./compile command reports a missing library. So I download the dependency from source (there is no binary package for my OS). Then, I compile the library. But I do not want to do make install, but rather copy the compiled library files into the source tree and edit some files so that ./compile will find the library.

Which file do I need to modify in which ways? I guess it is the file configure or a file config*?

Thank and best regards Simon
