You know cmake exists because "make && make install" by isn't usually that easy, anything beyond a small CLI has a lot of dependencies, and breaks with minor version changes?

I do know that. I don't know why you have to configure anything. For configurable project we make projects that contain the specific configs and wrap the common cmake. For instance "windows phone" wrapping the base app.

This also makes me ponder how you can do CI (builds) if you have to manually configure things. Or do you bake all that into the build config
