Doing “./configure && make && make install” is no better than doing “curl url | bash”.
Actually no, there is a difference, the former never works properly for any sizable project, while the later does, because for the later the user just wants to install the app so all the script usually does is to download some binaries.
Having a common build environment is impossible because you need a common way to manage dependencies and that will never, ever happen, for better or worse.
