Yevhen, thanks for making this. I wanted a comprehensive build and this does it! :)

Hi there! Great script, but a few things have changed and I've updated it for 2019 and forked it to
https://gist.github.com/talkingnews/3a2ba82a18ccfd2b38eadcb1cbf78757

The # x264 section fails (hope someone can craft a working git clone make command)
did this as a workaround only if you have a apt-get system I did
aptitude search x264
aptitude search x265
made sure these are installed with

apt-get install libx265-dev x265 libx264-dev x264
