This package is in desperate need of basic tutorials for compiling hello world examples. The guzhaoyuan hello world tutorial is out of date and won't compile, as far as I can tell. (#include "drake/common/text_logging_gflags.h" is not in the current release of drake, though "drake/common/text_logging.h" is)...
It requires a great deal of fiddling to get even the most basic examples running. The bazel build system is not explained well at all, and I found that I had to use cmake to get anything to run.
I know it's a headache maintaining open-source projects, but some basic documentation will increase user numbers greatly. If it takes several days just to get started, most people will return back to their familiar tools, and always remember Drake as the thing they couldn't get to work.
That said, I personally am committed to the project of getting things running because Drake does offer so many powerful tools for modern control. So hats off to everyone that contributes.

We have https://drake.mit.edu/#tutorials about the robotics features, but I think you're asking about a tutorial for how to compile your own software that uses Drake as a dependency?
For starters, for new users I recommend using Python and https://drake.mit.edu/pip.html. It's very easy to get started that way.
