Have you contacted the maintainer? As I understand, it is standard
protocol to contact the maintainer about such things first, and only
post to this list if you have not received a response within a
reasonable period of time.

Personally, there are some things I just have no interest in compiling:
libreoffice, Chromium, KDE (have I said thanks to AlienBob yet?) and
VirtualBox, being prime examples.
For VirtualBox, for years I've used the .run installers distributed by
Oracle, without issue. So that's what I do to run the latest version.
YMMV of course.
