Building v3.0-3.7 directly on either Linux Mint 17,18,19 or Ubuntu 18.04,18.10 etc isn't all that difficult. The main difficulty is getting the correct dependencies and development headers for them installed and setup initially and the build environment setup. The list and notes on the wiki are as complete as I could make it when I started building on Linux Mint 18 and 19. I have been building and installing successfully to /usr/local despite John Ralls reservations (only conflict is usually if you have installed an earlier version from the distribution software repository which installs to /usr/local and it needs to be removed and then not reinstalled over your own build and installation) for multiple users since Linux Mint 16 initially with autotools and then cmake since the configuration shifted to using it.
