Seems like the issue is with the particular project you are trying to compile and you are blaming it on the OS.
Also, Visual Studio has its own package manager with tons of libraries and tools.
- danieldk 10y agoI am not blaming Windows. It's just that Windows is a mismatch for projects that come from a UNIX tradition. I work in a field where most software is UNIX-first (ML/NLP), so Windows was virtually never a serious option as a development environment. Of course, much of changes now with Windows Subsystem for Linux.
