  configure: error: cannot guess build type you must specify one

  configure: error: /bin/bash './configure' failed for Data/Sample
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:590 (OPENMS_CONTRIB_BUILD_COINOR)

Solution:

find . -name "config.guess" -exec cp /usr/share/automake-1.16/config.guess {} \; or whatever, newer current automaker version you have installed.

I submitted a PR to CoinMP but it looks like that project has been abandoned: coin-or/CoinMP#27

Yes it is. It has been restructured into multiple standalone modules for years now and they use their own handwritten build system on top of automake/conf (lol). I would not invest time in this and instead integrate a different solver or use the workaround I mentioned in the OP.
The build chain of the separate modules works in conda after months of on and off work without their buildsystem but changing the contrib to build all the different submodules separately will take a lot of your time.

Benchmarks show it's around the same performance as CLP (with quite a bit of variance, depending on dataset)

Something to target for 3.6?
