Compilation isnt really my issue on linux, is more that I have to go and dig through how to set up the project rather than just use it (like you would from a distro package).

Maybe I have to install some prerequisites, maybe I need to set nonstandard specific environment variables and paths, maybe I need a specific version of a library, maybe I need to edit a make file...

This is fine for a few programs, but the annoyance really adds up when it happens repeatedly.
