Well, hopefully we can resolve the problems to overcome your
frustration. "deb-src command not found" tells me that you probably
tried to run that line as a command which should be in your
sources.list. I'll try to explain it a little better:

>From adding the cdemu ppa you should have a file 
"/etc/apt/sources.list.d/cdemu-ppa-precise.list". Edit that file with 
the command

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cdemu-ppa-precise.list

and change it so that the contents becomes these two lines:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cdemu/ppa/ubuntu quantal main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/cdemu/ppa/ubuntu quantal main

Then run the command

sudo apt-get update

and I see right now that the next command had a typo (sorry it was 
written from my notes on paper not by copy & paste) it should be:

sudo apt-get build-dep cdemu-client cdemu-daemon gcdemu libmirage7 vhba-dkms

The rest of the commands should be without typo, so it continues with

mkdir gcdemu
cd gcdemu
apt-get source cdemu-client cdemu-daemon gcdemu libmirage7 vhba-dkms

See the quoted text above for the rest of the instructions.
