Users don't build software from source. If you are building software yourself, then you are a developer. And you shouldn't really have a problem to compile these libraries then. If you have questions, you are of course free to ask them and we will try to help. But please don't ask us to simplify the build process in such awkward ways. The source tree is not aimed at users. Users should use whatever their distro offers.
