Of course you can build it yourself. Just like any library you'd make yourself. If not, a major benefit of Open Source would be gone
And doing so nicely ensures that it will be perfectly compatible with your application since both will be built with the same compiler.
It's really simple and no big deal. If you know what you are doing it
literally takes less than 3 minutes to "git pull", "cmake" & "make install" and you are done.
There is even a detailed
tutorial available if you have not done it before.
On Linux it's usually as simple as
"
git pull ; mkdir build ; cd build ; cmake .. ; make -j8 ; sudo make install"
(assuming you don't want to modify any build settings and already have a clone of the repository and other little details like that).
