Building Tor on Raspbian

I’m running a bridge on Raspbian, can someone fill me in on how to compile Tor from source? I’m already running the default Tor version from apt.

In case you only want/need to compile from source because the Debian
repository does not have a newer Tor version, you could try Debian
backports. I’ve been talking to a bunch of relay/bridge operators having
that problem and using backports helped them. There are a bunch of
guides on the Internet, e.g.
Marks Rpi Cluster: Add buster-backports to a Raspberry Pi,
which could be useful for you in that case.

Hope this helps,
Georg
