Reminds me of tooling around OpenStreetMaps circa 2012. Not sure if things have gotten better, but back then if you wanted to run something like a tile server, you had to figure out how to build a behemoth C++ project that had no clear build process and absolutely no integration with any OS (as in no init files, etc.). The little documentation that did exist was in German. It was a rough time.
