Unless you are somewhat of a Linux geek you probably aren't going to do that. Many, probably most Tvheadend users just get the precompiled version from the APT Repositories (https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/AptRepository) or one of the other repositories (https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/download).
For now probably the easiest solution, assuming you're not well-versed in the ways of Linux, would be to switch to using the tv_grab_file grabber script as suggested earlier in this thread. There are links to instructions for doing that in other recent threads on this board (posts within the last few days even). I've never had any problem using tv_grab_file to import XML listings into Tvheadend. It's a little different than using sockets (which is something I was never able to get working, though I didn't try very hard after the first failure), mainly because you need to set up Tvheadend to run the grabber on a specific schedule, but I just run my cron job to get the listings in the early AM hours, and then have Tvheadend run the grabber script several minutes later.
Of course if the very idea of compiling software doesn't cause you to break into a cold sweat, feel free to go for it.
