1. Find the Ubuntu package that includes the features you want in
Vim.

$ apt list | grep ^vim

In your case, that would be vim-gtk3

2. Do one of the following.

a) Have apt install dependencies automatically.

$ sudo apt build-dep vim-gtk3

b) View the dependencies and install the ones you want or need
manually.

$ apt show vim-gtk3 | grep ^Depends

For each <package> to be installed, run

$ sudo apt install <package>

3. Execute

$ make distclean
$ ./configure <options the way you want>
$ make
$ sudo make install

Without any options, configure will configure the build system for
a huge build. That includes a GUI if GUI libraries are available.

See

./configure --help
:help 90.1

and search or scroll to the SELECTING FEATURES section. See also

:help +feature-list

Gary
