ok, then it is understandable. windows is only for users, not developers
You can use Linux console commands in Windows with several methods, it's just not very user-friendly and you need to download and link everything that comes with many linux builds individually.
You can link the path to cmake into Windows powershell and cmd to build shit, for example.
Any of the devs could make an exe for Windows and label it "TEST_BUILD" or "UNSTABLE" so nobody complains when it crashes all the time.

yeah, that would be an option, releasing a build every major and not giving a shit about it the rest of the time
mainly because every OS (ubuntu, arch, mint, debian, windows...) needs a different build, and i don't think the devs would be happy to release a build for each and everyone every time a version comes out, so they provide a way to compile it that works for every distro

>ubuntu, arch, mint, debian
lol
you can distribute the same compiled binary to any of those distros and they will work
they will all be using the same libraries and dependencies to compile anyway
github is for source code. If the project you're looking at is intended for use by people other than software engineers, it'll probably have its own website with nicely packaged official installers and suchlike.
Literally me
do it lazy piece of shit
worketh on mine machine
and as you left the page the developers gave a sigh of relief as another non contributor user was effectively repelled, nothing of value was lost.
cope
why should i contribute?
I wouldn't mind building stuff myself if the build didn't fail for some reason 9 out of 10 times.
>README.md is 500 lines long describing goal of the project, features, examples
>INSTALLATION: Visit our releases page :^)
>releases gtihub page lists project.exe, project-source.tar.gz and project-source.zip
easy as:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && cmake --build .
you are just a lazy piece of shit
im on windows you linuxbrained kid

I use Windows and that command would work on my machine using Windows Terminal.

This is going to cause tons of free tard seething
do you even think on why they dont distribute it already built?
No and I don't care you ESL homosexual. If it's not an .exe or .msi, it gets dropped immediately.
no, i've never thought about it, why?
