If I think about the software that I use on a regular basis that I've built from scratch at least once, quite a few of them are fairly straightforward and basically just the two lines I indicated. Just off the top of my head all of these were just those two lines (download build tool then run the install step):
1. Kubernetes
2. git-annex
3. The new generation of replacements for various core command tools (e.g. ripgrep, fd, etc.)
EDIT:
> several weeks of time
Out of curiosity, what projects were those that took several weeks? My presumption is probably very GUI heavy ones?
- School-Cotton 5y agoI don’t know about weeks, but I remember LibreOffice, Firefox, and Clang all having their own ad hoc build systems requiring some amount of custom configuration. Debezium is also very Byzantine, or maybe it’s just that I don’t understand maven.
