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.

I didn't install it so I can't certifiy it works but on Ubuntu 24.10

sudo apt install xiphos
