Hello,

the tar.gz file contains all the sources and headers to build whatever
binary package you want.

How to build something like -devel is operating system / distribution
dependent. I maintain the Debian package for cracklib and use the Debian
tools to build the binary packages. Maybe this [1] can give you some idea on
how to do this. I'm sure there are similar things for other distributions
(i.e. RPM spec files for RedHat or SuSE like systems). I don't know whether
there is something similar available for AIX.
