Description

The cmake Hunter takes long time to setup dependency packages, and finally failed. I even can't find what it do every time it pause to wait something. And I can't understand why it failed, and I don't know what to do to help it to finish: Can I help it to download or compile or install package? I don't know.

Why don't choose a more traditional way to setup dependency packages, for example to use a shell or python script?
The cmake Hunter seems making things more complex than it need to be.

Does an open source project even like Linux Kernel harder to build than this?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the dependency setup through the CMake Hunter configuration and observe where package downloads, compilation, or installation pauses or fails. The issue names no files or tests; done would require an agreed, reproducible improvement to dependency setup and clearer failure reporting.
