I suppose the point of open source software is to edit the source code and make your own version. If you can't build it, you can't do that.

  Zstd has lots of contributors who have all figured out how to edit and build it.

    It's basically a giant GCCism. Don't be condescending.

      I have no idea what you're talking about at this point.

    Yeah, not sure what the original commenter is complaining about. I did "git clone https://github.com/facebook/zstd https://github.com/facebook/zstd", "cd zstd", "make" and have a working binary. Doesn't get easier than that.

      Not everyone is using a standard tool chain or anything like that and oftentimes when I find projects with atypical build systems that give me trouble I tend to just move on to something else
