For 18.04 I created a script to install dependencies and build from git.
Builds and install cleanly with no errors. It installs to current user
only, using $HOME/.local prefix, as I dislike installing
experimental/deprecated stuff to my system. I've added a few comments on
which build error each installed package fixes.

Hope this is useful!
