Can someone make an idiotproof file for us Mint nooblets

I'm trying to install steamtinkerlaunch but it wants yad 7.2 min, Mint provides 0.40 cuz fk me I guess and the process for installing on github is @-@ for anyone who isn't super into linux yet.

Can someone make a simple .deb or smth.

The README shows you what you have to do

git clone https://github.com/v1cont/yad.git
cd yad
autoreconf -ivf
./configure
make
sudo make install

[v1cont]

there must be appropriate environment installed before that

so for mint do something like apt install gcc git gettext-devel glib-devel gtk3-devel gtksourceview-devel gspell-devel webkit2gtk-devel before cloning and building yad

I tried this and got: E: Unable to locate package gettext-devel E: Unable to locate package glib-devel E: Unable to locate package gtk3-devel E: Unable to locate package gtksourceview-devel E: Unable to locate package gspell-devel E: Unable to locate package webkit2gtk-devel

Using Linux Mint 22.2.

In Debian/Ubuntu dev packages ends with dev, not with devel

I basically gave up and managed to do what I wanted via protonhax instead of steamtinkerlaunch. Still This is why I wanted someone to make a simple .deb. All of this is expecting certain amount of knowledge about linux which me and I bet a lot of mint users simply don't have. Need a much simpler install method like a copy paste script or self installer file or even better would be someone pushing newer versions of yad onto mint store.

So far all guides I found ended up with terminal outputting errors.
