I have been doing this a lot recently as I've been trying to add GPS time and 
location tags to a stream of data I'm recording with a USRP.  It really is as 
simple as the instructions here:

http://files.ettus.com/uhd_docs/manual/html/build.html

provided you have all the dependencies satisfied and all the source files 
downloaded from the repository.

Cmake is required as the build depends on the various configuration files 
scattered throughout the source directories (you get these when you check out 
the repository).  I'm not really a programmer (pretty much a hack), but I do 
know that they use Cmake as a tool to enable compiling across multiple 
platforms.  And if I can make it work, just about anyone can.
