That is not a requirement. Only if you intend to start porting source
packages. The included *.sh is self hosting to build the binaries.

It's a build system; automatic (like RPM or DEB), so it's different
from g-b-s.

Hm, you want to use command "all". See the help page

   ./gt5-1.3-1.sh -h

The individual commands must be run in specific order in order to
prepare the build (cf. -h option).

I'll add more error checking to prevent direct invocation of install
if the preliminary steps are not done.
