It can work, but it's missing dependencies ?

It looks like the instructions are there in the README. I tried
building on my system but I'm missing some dependencies (e.g. at some
point it finds my Python 3 installation and tries to run some code but
fails due to a missing sipconfig module, which I am not familiar
with).

Generally, to build a project that uses CMake, create an empty
directory for the build and open a terminal in it, then run CMake with
the path to the directory containing CMakeLists.txt and optionally
specify the generator to use if the default is not the one you want.
Then, if it completes without errors, you can use "cmake --build ." to
build it and "cmake --build . --target install" to install it, even if
you used an IDE generator.

As for the project dependencies, you are own your own to get those.

Hello,
how about to share the github URL,
which file you have downloaded or project you want to compile?
I think this would make it much easier for readers to help.
Best regards,
Martin

Are you trying to use an existing CMakeLists.txt, or are you trying to
create your own? CMake doesn't just work on source files alone.

Hi, I'm hoping I can get some help on how to compile a repository from github which is local on my machine with a series of folders which contain CPP extension files.

I have chosen the folders for which most likely contain the correct files to compile the binaries followed by the folder to which to build the binaries then I have chosen generate but I'm getting an error that the project files are invalid ?
