I don’t know anything about CentOS, but these days I happen to build subsurface on Macs which only have homebrew which should be much more basic than any Linux distribution package manager. But here, I just have to install a few libraries (namely, quoting from the INSTALL file  asciidoc libzip sqlite cmake libusb pkg-config automake libtool), then, and I admit that is a bit painful, install Qt5 from sources and all the rest is (or at least should be) handled by the subsurface build script (in scripts/build.sh). I don’t have to set any environment variable, fix paths or such. I am surprised the experience is so much different for you.

Best
