I'm not a fan of cmake either.  

How do you deal with software that only builds with cmake (or meson,
scons, ... whatever the developer decided to use as the build tool)?  
What alternatives exist short of reimplementing the build process in 
a standard makefile by hand, which is obviously very time consuming,
error prone, and will probably break the next time you want to update
a given package?

If there is some great alternative, I would like to know about it.
