Hello all, Just started with the Rant.

Going to work with GSL numerical library. Tell my family do not worry and that I will miss them.

FUCK BT and GOOGLE MINI together, a good song comes to mind that might put you in a good mood , BT CONNECTS WHEN HE WANTS like a fucking child, BY THE TIME IT CONNECTS, IF! IT CONNECTS.. YOU ARE A PACKET FULL OF ANGER, the feeling of wanting to listen to that song fled and you just lost fucking time AND CAN'T ENJOY SHIT ANYMORE, FUCK. YOU. FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Is developing on Windows equivalent to squaring the circle? Yeah, obligatory windows bad circlejerk I know.

I’ve been developing a QT5 application for 2 weeks now on my main Linux system. Now, I wanted to make a Windows port for my friends to try.

I install QtCreator on Windows since it’s what I used on Linux. First time setup, I was forced to create an account; I was kind of pissed off but no biggie, I just put “Fuck you” on every credential possible. That’ll teach em.

Now, I needed a decent compiler. Visual Studio is a no go because why the fuck is it so big; also last I checked this thing barely supports C99. So I went with MinGW64 and MSYS2 and made a kit of it. I also went with that because it was the easiest way to get the latest version of GSL and MathGL without having to compile it. Also, the fact that MSYS2 had pacman was pretty nice.

I couldn’t get the thing to work for the whole day until I realized that my kit was pointing to the wrong compiler, turns out msys64/mingw64/bin/g++ and msys64/usr/bin/g++ are two different things. Ok whatever

Now, I just need to hunt down all the .a files and throw it in the LIBS option to get the libraries to work.

I finally made a successful build. Only to find that the application did absolutely nothing. I went with copy pasting the dlls into where the exe was located and launching it manually only to find the error “Application could not start correctly”

Yeah, I might be a retard but fuck you Windows. All I had to do on linux was just install qtcreator on my package manager and let the library dependencies be handled automatically and I could start doing my work right away.
