Me: oh cool, using OpenGL and GLFW makes it nice and easy to draw a triangle! Might look into using GLEW to start making things a bit more cross platform..

* 48 hours later *

Me: Oh joy, of course everyone uses fucking visual studio, why can't people just offer tutorials or documentation for people using meson or you know... literally anything else that isn't visual studio!

It's fairly easy for me to port C++ to C with my limited knowledge but fuck me am I sick of documentation and articles always targeting a single method...

Gotta love it when CMake manages to change the way it handles GLEW in the latest build and breaks the QT moc inclusion directive in the previous. I absolutely detest the current state of cross platform build tools and environments. The amount of ffing time wasted on this crap is just beyond me.

So a while ago I was complaining that tonnes of tutorials ignore CLI or alternative build methods like cmake or meson.

Was having trouble getting glew to link statically... Well only months fucking later do I realise that all I needed to do was add -DGLEW_STATIC to my fucking compiler arguments...

Why is past me such a fucking idiot!
