Martin has covered that in

That's rather easy to follow, shouldn't take more take more than an hour*, even 
when running into each problem that's commonly encountered on a default Ubuntu 
install (i.e. no compilers, no developer files, ...) deliberately.

add some buffer for download and compile times

If you've got a build environment set up, it builds with the exact same 
commands.

Shouldn't be necessary - if you make sure that the IDE doesn't interfere with 
the autotools build setup and/or introduces its own project files, then you may 
choose any IDE you like.
