That is one of the things that kind of sucks about Linux, though it isn't
really specifically a Linux thing.  It's more the toolchains and languages. 
I've written some programs in C and C++ and its not too difficult because of
the build system used and because the dependencies are handled by the distros
package manager.  With Rust and languages where they have their own package
management system, things get far more complex.

I could give building a DEB a try if you provide the compiled binary and
package description.
