On the armbian version of Ubuntu I picked up to try this, it was already
installed.

Looking at this again, I find an extra pair of dots would be necessary,
since you should be in ./vendor/faad2/faad2/frontend at that point. I
should have written "cd ../../../wavpack/"

If you have already run this once, and can keep the build directories
in-tact (i.e., you have room for them), then updating to the latest
nightly should start with the "git pull" commands and go from there.

I had previously developed this process on Debian Stretch, (armbian). I
have successfully used it on Debian Jessie too. I only tried it on
Ubuntu so I could give you meaningful guidance.
