How to build Mercury and Thorium

Hi guys

I’m afraid I have no idea when it comes to compiling packages from code. I have built one or two when I was on Arch using CMake but I have no idea when it comes to the OBS.

I would like to build the excellent Thorium (Thorium Browser) and Mercury (Mercury Browser) browsers to enable me to add it to my own repo (Show home:SquarePeg79 - openSUSE Build Service) but don’t have a clue where to start.
At the moment, I use that repo to save me having to have loads of different ones for various packages but would love to build some packages that aren’t available in other repos.
I have previously read the build guide but I don’t have a clue where to start with these two - https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium/blob/main/docs/BUILDING.md and https://github.com/Alex313031/Mercury/blob/main/docs/BUILDING.md.

Thanks in advance
