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.
