The problem is that there are no instructions for building with cmake,
and something that normally works with cmake does not.  By 'there are no
instructions', I mean that I looked at README.md (which is hard to read
in text because of all the CI stuff), and looked for INSTALL* and
BUILDING*, and grepped for cmake.
