very cool!! there is also the possibility of using a ppa repository of a program to install the necessary dependencies for compilation, for example, MAME (multiple machine emulator) you add a third party ppa, then go and enable the sources code in the repositories, then download the program and when compiling you do a sudo apt build-dep mame and it will download and install all the program's dependencies automatically!!! very useful!!
