It's not essential, but it certainly helps to know you can successfully
build a plain standard version before intorducing new issues with changes
to the code.

   For giving it a try, I started building the components. Unfortunately

Personally, as an occasional Linux user I've found using the CMake build to
be easier than all the autofoo stuff.  You'll still need to get all the
required packages though, as Guy has indicated.
