Installing build dependencies on Ubuntu using APT

I am trying to build inkscape (master) on Ubuntu 22.04. The list of dependencies is long, and for each of them I am "guessing" the package name I need to install in APT. Thanks to a tiny bit of experience, googling and APT autocompletion, this is possible, though it takes 10sec to a few minutes for each package.
But I feel I am missing something. Is there no smarter way than this guessing?
Sincerely, Thomas

You could add the ppa with the sources ppa, and then 'apt get build-dep inkscape'.
The ones listed here: https://gitlab.com/Moini/make_ink/-/blob/master/README.md are probably outdated, but they might provide a good starting point.

(I mean 'apt-get', sorry)

Hi,
You can also use our install-dependencies.sh script (mentioned on https://inkscape.org/develop/getting-started/#building-inkscape-linux ) : https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-ci-docker/-/raw/master/install_dependen...
