Don't worry about it; building C++ is _always_ shenanigans 😉

Hi there Nicole,
LOL, it's great to have a community of people that are willing to help
with n00bs like me when it comes to vcpkg.
AFAIK, the issue in my case was with OpenSSL failing to compile (which I
eventually got past), and the naming of the gtk *.libs. After about a
half-hour of various failures and fighting with my work computer's
restrictions, vcvarsall, and other stuff; I changed the name of the *.lib
files according to the instructions I was following, and then the linker
just exploded with roughly a gazillion errors. A small tear ran down the
side of my face and I moved on. Perhaps with enough caffeine and a
chatroom of pros, I might stand a chance :D
Thanks again for the pointers to the discord channel. Please do forgive my
remark about vcpkg being "shenanigans". It just happened to be the
proverbial straw that broke my back that day.

FWIW, I'm on the vcpkg team so if anyone needs help with it you can always
reach out. Additionally, includecpp.org's discord has a #vcpkg channel a
few of us hang out on.
(somewhat unrelated but shrug)

Hi Andrew,
Fantastic! I'm much more familiar with Python than I am with rust and
all
the vcpkg shenanigans that were going on with castor. I'll give this a
shot and post a pic if it works.
Thanks again Andrew :D

I just got mcross running, after struggling to get Castor to build
(even
with the instructions, I'm not sure what I'm missing :/)
https://sr.ht/~nhanb/mcross/
it's pretty straightforward: Python 3.7+, run "pip install mcross" and
then "mcross"

I'm a big-time Linux user, bare-metal, and BSD guy. However, I'm
confined
to Windows for my day job :/ So, I was just wondering if anyone on
this
list knows of a Windows client floating around that I could use.
I didn't tried but I would say that Alrisha
(https://git.sr.ht/~fabrixxm/alrisha) being pure Qt should run on
windows without any problem...
Hi there!
Thanks for the recommendation! I just had a chance to look into this
last
night and, unfortunately I'm not that comfortable creating a Qt
account
just to install the tooling required to run qmake :/ I might be
missing
something that allows me to bypass the account creation, but it's a
principle thing I guess LOL. The client itself seems nice enough
though,
and if they had pre-compiled builds I'd certainly use one of 'em.
Thanks again :D
