CMake: Configuration: cmake . or cmake .. Building: make Installing: make install/fast (or "make install" if you want it to do all the dependency checks the "make" step already did again like the autotools always do) Autotools: Configuration: ./configure or ../configure Building: make Installing: make install The only extra job the autotools have is the useless "autogenerate and/or files" (a.k.a. autoreconf) step, which is exactly the one I'm complaining about.
