#clion

8 posts7 participants2 posts today

Hey, look at that. It only took 2 hours. I have successfully used a 3rd party C++ library (PoDoFo) and extracted some information from a PDF file.

#CLion seems to have made it possible. It is using CMake and Ninja underneath. But I didn't have to abandon the idea of writing C++ again :)

No, I am not a C++ programmer
😂

In a great piece of news, JetBrains has made #CLion free for non-commercial use. I wanted to give c++ a try a few months back and eventually gave up after trying to get the package management and build system to work.

Yes, I was trying to get it working in a weekend and didn’t want to use Qt and a few other lazy stuff.

Anyway, the point is, I am going to give it another try now with CLion (same lazy effort) and see if I can get going with something.

Me looking for example gh action files using cmake
- single file, hello world
- .... nothing ...
- 25000 lines of yaml, 76000 lines of CmakeList.txt for ML libraries

#Clion is easy until you want to deploy to .github/build.yml and you have to convert the build configuration back into code.
