I don't know how to do what you ask.

Usually on GNU/Linux programs are compiled by using batch files that
don't require interactive input, they are configured either by editing
some files, or by passing command line arguments, or by setting some
environment variables.

Interactive text-mode programs usually are started from within the
shell, either from inside the shell-mode buffer `M-x shell RET' or from
an external terminal.
