Every time you want to build a software from source, you need to enter a lot of commands in the terminal. Is there a way to compile software using a graphical user interface?

    Maybe using an IDE. The terminal is better, though, you learn more from it and have more control. You should put more details about your problem in your question.

You can do a shell script where you write all your commands and then you execute the script each time you want to use them :

The script (in a file called "myscript.sh") :

#!/bin/bash

Write your commands here

And then in the terminal :

The Terminal :-$ chmod +x myscript.sh    # Doing it once to have the right to execute it
The Terminal :-$ ./myscript.sh           # Each time you want to run your commands

Have also a look at software automation tools like GNU make (with its famous "makefiles").

There are plenty of tutorials and examples on the Web which shows you how to write a shell script ("BASH scripts") or makefiles.
