It is a good idea not to get into the trap of installing everything with package managers, especially when they are not available or even older versions which might have a security flaw.

I never hesitate to build and / or install manually if a package is not available; and often I find the manual builds / installs are better because I understand it more completely when I do it myself.

The term "smooth" is relative.

In the time it takes to search the net and ask question in forums, you could have installed it manually Smilie

MK-BUILD-DEPS(1)                                                                                                                  MK-BUILD-DEPS(1)

NAME

       mk-build-deps - build a package satisfying a package's build-dependencies

SYNOPSIS

       mk-build-deps --help|--version

       mk-build-deps [options] control file | package name ...

DESCRIPTION

       Given a package name and/or control file, mk-build-deps will use equivs to generate a binary package which may be installed to satisfy all
       the build dependencies of the given package.

       If --build-dep and/or --build-indep are given, then the resulting binary package(s) will depend solely on the
       Build-Depends/Build-Depends-Indep dependencies, respectively.

OPTIONS

       -i, --install
           Install the generated packages and its build-dependencies.

       -t, --tool
           When installing the generated package use the specified tool.  (default: apt-get --no-install-recommends)

       -r, --remove
           Remove the package file after installing it. Ignored if used without the --install switch.

       -a foo, --arch foo
           If the source package has architecture-specific build dependencies, produce a package for architecture foo, not for the system
           architecture. (If the source package does not have architecture-specific build dependencies, the package produced is always for the
           pseudo-architecture all.)

       -B, --build-dep
           Generate a package which only depends on the source package's Build-Depends dependencies.

       -A, --build-indep
           Generate a package which only depends on the source package's Build-Depends-Indep dependencies.

       -h, --help
           Show a summary of options.

       -v, --version
           Show version and copyright information.

       -s, --root-cmd
           Use the specified tool to gain root privileges before installing.  Ignored if used without the --install switch.
