Insufficient instructions for compiling from source; also, PPAs are not longer current

It seems to be that the advertised Ubuntu (/Mint etc.) PPAs do not contain the 0.11.3 code.

Also, fuller instructions for installing that code - installing from source - might be useful. I had to do the following (some of which is specific to Linux Mint).

==================================

Download the source code from: https://launchpad.net/plank (see right hand side of the page).

Unpack somewhere (e.g. the desktop).

Install packages you need to compile Plank. On my system (which had some compilation stuff installed already) I needed to do:

sudo apt-get install libbamf3-dev gir1.2-gee-0.8 libwnck-3-dev libgee-0.8-dev

Open a terminal in the folder you unpacked the code into (or open terminal and use the 'cd' command to get to the folder you've unpacked the code into).

Do:
./configure && make && make install

Run plank by searching for plank in the MintMenu, or ALT-F2 and enter 'plank'.

To make plank start on boot: System Settings -> Startup Applications and add a entry. It might be best to make use of the delay field to add a delay of a few (3?) seconds.
