I would settle for a copy of "Building the Newest Version of GNC for
Dummies Course" book.
Others have shown you that you can use flatpak to get the latest
version, but if you do want to build from source I have found that the
following works on Ubuntu 20.04. I have also attached it as a script.
This clones the source from git and by default builds the maintenance
version. The versions are tagged, so you can use git to checkout a
different version and build that if you want, e.g. you could build 4.8
rather than maint.

As time permits I will give it a try. All of my previous attempts have
failed.
My next problem seems that after following, shoot can not remember who
demonstrated it for me, the Flatpak install of 4.8 keeps copying my
books from an external drive to my user desktop. Complete with all timed
backups. Clearly I have an environment variable set wrong someplace.
Oh well, that's what keeps development interesting, figuring out where
you hid that little gremlin in the system.
