Hi,
I want to have a personalized live stick, where I can Install e.g. gnuplot on the stick.
Is it possible to compile also sourcecode with
./configue
./make
./make install
on the usb-live-stick?
Do I have to beware of something, or just go for it and see whether it works out?
My Intention is not to do installations with these, but to work in an educational setting per live-stick, where MAC users are not able to install propper software at their computers.

Because gnuplot is in the repos, you don’t need to compile it.
See Build Manjaro ISOs with buildiso - Manjaro
Following the directions from the wiki page, you should be able to add gnuplot to the ISO profile, then burn the ISO to a USB stick.
I think you want a persistent install on a USB?
In the most basic sense you can do this by simply installing manjaro to the external media.
But to get the most benefits (and the least performance drawbacks) you would probably want to either configure by hand certain things you would not do on a normal install (maybe load the OS into RAM?, etc) and/or use some utility approach like

Some notes from/about arch

Ventoy also has some persistence options … and they support Arch. Dont know about manjaro.
@linux-aarhus created this HowTo a few years ago:
This used a community edition of Manjaro LXDE which is no longer maintained, however, you might find it interesting for reference.
Possibly the article could be used as a general guide to creating this USB using another edition; Manjaro Cinnamon (Community) or Manjaro XFCE (Official), for example. It might be a fair starting point to build on.
Cheers.
