David, Will your script build the latest stable release? If not what
do I change to do that?

I would settle for a copy of "Building the Newest Version of GNC for
Dummies Course" book.
Others have shown you that you can use flatpak to get the latest
version, but if you do want to build from source I have found that the
following works on Ubuntu 20.04. I have also attached it as a script.
This clones the source from git and by default builds the maintenance
version. The versions are tagged, so you can use git to checkout a
different version and build that if you want, e.g. you could build 4.8
rather than maint.
