Hi.
CMake sucks. as a person who used C++ for multiple years i hope the developers of this abomination do not sleep well at night and just live to genuinely make life as hard as it already is.

link? what is linking?
link deez nuts

Don't know the situation when creating the CMake project by myself, but it gave windows users like me easy of use compilation process of open source projects. I compiled LuaJit that way in just few steps.

How about we invent a build tool that generates Cmake files

i just wish its easy as cargo.toml. but eh ill just stick with manual linking in visual studio. its not like ill die if i not learn cmake maybe ill force myself to learn it another day

thanks guys id like to hear more of your opinions

@devRancid Let's call it cmake++

When it works cmake is awesome

Problem is it never fucking works right

I just use plain old make. But did you try premake? It's Lua.

@cprn premake is amazing! but i decided that vcpkg was my go to. i suck at manually linking libraries and a package manager would be easier i am talking whole user interface, one click use and download.
