synemeup3143yI've only ever heard horror stories from cmake. Does c++ folk really not have a better solution yet?
-
@synemeup yeah it was called automake lol so far as I can tell
They’ve been switching to cmake which supposedly will support multiple os
Personally I’ve had 0 success compiling anything made with cmake on windows -
stop68733yThe C/C++ environment is a mess. Meson, autotools, Cmake, qmake, gyp, plain makefiles and the various mechanisms to build binary modules for other languages.

@stop everything is a mess i'm noting.
do you think machine learning is another psychology ?
only a complete genius or a very very very rich person can really progress far into it ?
asked this before
what was the answer ? -
@stop kind of pisses me off btw
all this wasted time could have been spent in the case of myself and alot of other idle people creating solutions to the shortcomings of alot of things.
What part of cmake generates the link.txt files for gnu make builds ?
The project I'm building right now is consistently skipping adding -ltiff in random links, yet there seems to be no obvious error in the environment this should be happening, however it might be somewhere in the configuration with which I am not familiar.
Is anyone familiar ?
