./configure; make; sudo make install
is pretty straight forward.

Except it's not that easy:
brew
on macOS. I can't be bothered to fetch X dependencies and compile them all by hand (or to look for them on the filesystem, which is a bit messy on macOS).Altogether it took me less time to make the CMake port than it would have taken to make ./configure
work properly (which I tried). Part of it might have been that I stopped using the GNU build system almost 15 years ago (and don't plan to go back to it).
I'm much more familiar with CMake by now and that has also gotten more widespread industry support by IDEs, package-managers etc.
I actually expect this to be rejected - this is mostly here for exposure, for people like me, who have issues with autogen. This CMake build system is very incomplete, but made it much easier to compile concordance for me.
