I am using Fedora_Core7 and linux kernel version-2.6.21.
The instructions you asked were given in the 'Readme' file of the minilzo package under the lzo package. I am sending you some of the instructions given in the file. Hope this would help you in understanding my problem.

I've created miniLZO for projects where it is inconvenient to
include (or require) the full LZO source code just because you
want to add a little bit of data compression to your application.
miniLZO implements the LZO1X-1 compressor and both the standard and
safe LZO1X decompressor. Apart from fast compression it also useful
for situations where you want to use pre-compressed data files (which
must have been compressed with LZO1X-999).
miniLZO consists of one C source file and three header files:
minilzo.c
minilzo.h, lzoconf.h, lzodefs.h
To use miniLZO just copy these files into your source directory, add
minilzo.c to your Makefile and #include minilzo.h from your program.
Note: you also must distribute this file (`README.LZO') with your project.
