software installation - how do i compile inkscape?

I am running ubuntu mate 18.04, and have tried numerous times to compile the inkscape source code. I was following this tutorial
https://inkscape.org/en/develop/getting-started/

but encountered issues when I came to the line describing cmake build flags. I tried simply omitting the flags, and using them as is, but both ways failed.
Im not sure what exactly I am supposed to fill into the flags to make them work properly.

can someone explain the command

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(pwd)/../inst [-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache]

Im not sure what the flag is, or should be but Im confident that it is why i cannot compile.

I tried compiling omiting the "XX" but still got errors

:~/inkscape/build$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(pwd)/../inst -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache
