So why do you want to build it from source instead of using a ready-made
pre-built package?

Don't ever use sudo when you don't fully understand what you are doing!

On Ubuntu, installing required build dependencies is as easy as:
sudo apt-get build-dep nlopt
After that, make a clean checkout and follow the official installation
instructions (note how there is no mention of sudo anywhere):

Specify a prefix in your home directory so that you won't need superuser
rights upon installation: --prefix=$HOME/opt/nlopt .
