<div dir="ltr">that was point there is no build system that the compiler system nows about so there’s tons of 3rd party ones which break easily. I always wondered why this information just couldn’t be part of the program file itself so everything is in one place and the compiler knows about it. Building in C, C++ and Pascal is always a sore point in my experience.</div><div dir="ltr">
