Experiences with the latter?

Refer to extracted sections from the CinGG manual Chapter
1 - Installation below:
If you prefer to not have to take the time to build
CINELERRA-GG Infinity yourself,
there are pre-built dynamic or static binaries for various
versions of Ubuntu, Mint,
Suse, Fedora, Debian ........
The pkgs directory contains the standard packaged
application for various distros.
This will install a dynamic system version for users who
prefer to have the binaries
in the system area

Notes about Building from Git in your Customized
Environment
Getting a build to work in a custom environment is not
easy. If you have already installed libraries which are
normally in the thirdparty build, getting them to be
recognized means you have to install the devel version so
the header files which match the library interfaces exist.
If you want to build using only the thirdparty libraries
installed in your system, just include
"–without-thirdparty" to your configure script. For
example:
./confgure --with-single-user --disable-static-build
--without-thirdparty
Below is the list of thirdparty builds, but this list may
have changed over time.
Table 1.1: List of thirdparty builds
a52dec
yes
djbfft
yes
ffmpeg
yes
fftw
auto
flac
auto
giflib
yes
ilmbase
auto
lame
auto
libavc1394
auto
libraw1394
auto
libiec61883
auto
libdv
auto
..........
The yes means force build and auto means probe and use
the system version if the build operation is not static.
To get your customized build to work, you need to change
the probe options for the conflicting libraries from yes
to auto, or even rework the
configure.ac
script. There may be several libraries which need special
treatment.
An example of a problem you might encounter with your
customized installation is with a52dec which has probes
line (CHECK_LIB/CHECK_HEADERS) in
configure.ac, but djbfft does
not. In this case, djbfft is only built because a52dec is
built, so if your system has a52dec, set a52dec to auto
and see if that problem is solved by retrying the build
with:
./confgure
--with-single-user -enable-a52dec=auto .
With persistence, you can get results, but it may take
several tries to stabilize the build. If you need help,
email the log and config.log, which is usually sufficient
to determine why a build failed.
If you have already installed the libfdk_aac development
package on your computer because you prefer this version
over the default aac, you will have to do the following to
get this alternative operational. The libfdk_aac library
is not a part of CINELERRA-GG by default because it is not
license free.
export
FFMPEG_EXTRA_CFG=" --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-nonfree"
export EXTRA_LIBS=" -lfdk-aac"
for f in `grep -lw aac cinelerra-5.1/ffmpeg/audio/*`; do
sed -e 's/\<aac\>/libfdk_aac/' -i $f
done
