BTW, thought about adding this ppa -- just looked, and they have cmake
in there.  tsk, tsk -- why would they do that?

 
Investigated this further.  Couldn't add the ppa because it doesn't
support Ubuntu Noble -- /plus/, it turns out Xiphos is already in
Ubuntu Noble.
 
So on Linux Mint 22.1, I just needed to sudo apt install xiphos.
 

that's  not all you need

Since xiphos is a C++ for the sword libraries it wants to pull in a lot of
stuff including imagemagick. There's also

Suggested packages:
  imagemagick-6-doc  ffmpeg   hp2xx       mplayer   texlive-base-bin 
sword-text
  autotrace          gnuplot  html2ps     povray    transfig         
festival
  enscript           grads    libwmf-bin  radiance  libraw-bin

which makes me think that sooner or later you will wish you had them.
