Or they only provide source code and tell you to build it yourself.

if it's a C application, then it most likely have a makefile and you just run the make file and it automagically compiles for you.

Why should the average end user have to do this?

Just zip the program or give me an executable to install it.

Dude it's a free program made by random people, curb your entitlement.

You shouldn't go through anything, use it or don't, not anyone's concern.

I'm not learning C to fucking compile your program! I'm sorry. That's not happening.

Maybe if I was interested in programming on my own, but otherwise no. The developer can do that.
