Please see #q300480.

Note also btw: "sourcing a package" is not vernacular that is used in ROS. Only workspaces can be sourced.

Also: the upstream openslam_gmapping repository that you found is not a ROS package, so you cannot use it directly.

Edit:

I have not used docker yet. In fact, it's a new term for me.

there is no need to use Docker.

I just used it in #q300480 to test out whether I could build gmapping from source without polluting my own system.

You can just run the two git clone .. commands and the rosdep install .. command in and on your regular workspace.
