[QGIS-Developer] Problems using install instructions for latest stable version

[Tony Bazeley]

The link to instructions was included in the thread initiation email:  https://github.com/
qgis/QGIS/blob/master/INSTALL.md#39-building-different-branches[1]

Also the OS: KDE Neon which runs on Ubuntu 22.04.
I've got to this point as the jammy packages have an incompatibility with neon, and the 
flatpack packages are way out of date.

The initial clone command was  git clone https://github.com/qgis/QGIS.git
I'm not at all familiar with git, but have been able to pick up a bit over the last few days 
and been able to successfully build the development version.

My problem now is in building the latest stable version - If another method exists that's 
fine.

My build tree looks like:
*.* 
└── *QGIS* 
   ├── *build-master* 
   ├── *.ci* 
   ├── *cmake* 
   ├── *cmake_templates* 
   ├── *debian* 
   ├── *doc* 
   ├── *.docker* 
   ├── *editors* 
   ├── *external* 
   ├── *.git* 
   ├── *.github* 
   ├── *i18n* 
   ├── *images* 
   ├── *linux* 
   ├── *mac* 
   ├── *ms-windows* 
   ├── *postinstall* 
   ├── *python* 
   ├── *release-3_36* 
   ├── *resources* 
   ├── *rpm* 
   ├── *scripts* 
   ├── *src* 
   ├── *tests* 
   └── *.tx*
with *~/dev/cpp/QGIS/release-3_36*$ git status 
On branch release-3_36 
nothing to commit, working tree clean
