how to install manually
https://www.tecmint.com/install-apache-tomcat-on-debian-10/

but we want to compile itself and build a deb package

we need java and ant

apt-get install ant

Choose your version as source code https://github.com/apache/tomcat/tags in our example we use 9.0.64

extract the folder and you can run /usr/bin/ant in the extraced tomcat folder after a frew seconds you can find your compiled tomcat under the folder /output/build

apt build-dep tomcat9

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc -us
