Steps to building a cool program (the really cool way)

  1. Clone the GitHub repository
  2. Open command prompt
  3. Run the build command
  4. It fails because the repository owner uses a different c++ compiler and it only works with that one
  5. It fails again, realize you installed visual studio wrong somehow so spend an hour trying to get the visual studio installer to find and uninstall it before deleting the installation directory entirely and installing the required version again
  6. It still fails, the project looks for version "" of protobuf but you have "3.1.10.1" so you reconfigure it to look for a real version of protobuf
  7. It fails again, some tool that isn't in the readme is required to build it
  8. It fails again, it's not actually compatible with windows yet
  9. Give up and wait for pre built binaries

Edit: did the other guy that responded block me? I got a notification about it but can't load the comment

Hey welcome to our group session. Just know that we all have been hurt by C++ build systems and this is a safe space

I feel so welcome, thank you

I used to run Slackware and have built many, many packages this way.

These days...gimme a .deb, please. It's not that I can't do it...it's that I want to do other things.

Makes sense, their response made no sense anyways lol

Even now it's telling me that there's an extra comment it can't load

If you want Blender with CUDA support from source... Man, this is the way. Thank God for their benevolence in releasing build binaries.

I sure learned a ton while painfully trying to figure it all out though! Lol
