Ask HN: A site which crawls and compiles
I often find myself requiring a precompiled library or executable, and more often
than not, find the process not so simple..
I recently needed a precompiled ffmpeg, and found it at http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/
Which was great - so from this I thought it would be great, if there was a site,
who's primary job was to crawl GitHub, SourceForge etc, download sources and produce
Builds ready for download.
Would this be useful, or even possible ? - If it is possible, what do you think, would
It be handy enough, to invest sometime in me making such a crawler/compiler etc
- MichaelAza 12y agoInteresting idea, but I think that since different systems and projects have varying build systems and many projects can be built with different options, a more interesting project would be a cloud build system - point it a github page and give it a build command line and off it goes.
- apakian 12y agoYep, That's a good idea, - is there any such sites/services that do anything like this ?
