Jimmy Once all the dependencies are installed, that is all that is necessary. You may need a sudo on the make install. I install to /usr/local not /opt. AFAIK a user doesn't have permissions for /opt without sudo.
cmake will occasionally fail if the dependencies have changed. I have never really bothered with a script. I put the dependency installation commands into a script (just copy the sudo apt install commands into a bash script) but I have usually found that by the time I need to run the script (major GC versions upgrades and OS upgrades), I have to update it anyway as the dependency versions have usually changed slightly. I use scripts for the build if I do any development work (from git repository) as that involves repeatedly building the program and where possible I only rebuild libraries which have changed. They are customised for navigating the development environment as I have it set up. I don't find it worth the effort of remembering a script name for the occasional build from the tarball. Using ninja instead of make for the build is usually a bit faster. ( Add -GNinja as a switch to the cmake command and substitute ninja for make in the rest).
