No, it's absolutely not easier. And the more you deviate from amd64 linux and gcc, the harder it gets.
- Sir_Cmpwn 8y agoI've worked pretty damn far away from amd64 linux and gcc, and I can assure you that it's really not that hard.
- zzzcpan 8y agoI've seen plenty of times how libraries compile just fine on less popular platforms and environments but then cause crashes at start or not link at all and how much time it wastes dealing with this. I thought these problems were widely known, that's why anyone who cares about porting tries to make self-contained single-sourced libraries.
- Sir_Cmpwn 8y agoI'm not talking about dynamic linking or distributing shared objects or even archives. I'm talking about static linking or simply slinging together .o files.
