In General, this is true. But CMake is worth a try, that would be in love with him. My experience is limited, but CMake is the best tool for me right now, which perfectly complements the C and C++ (and others) in various application aspects and artifacts of the development process of large modular projects.

Yes. CMake has some barrier to entry, but its worth a try.
And the Qt project provides great support CMake, how to use the frame (export modules), and support Qt Creator IDE.

a) to Build the dependent libraries from source code within your project is in General not good.
b) it is Necessary to strive for a modular design and independent building of modules and their exports and imports.
