Steps to building a cool program (the really cool way)

Clone the GitHub repository
Open command prompt
Run the build command
It fails because the repository owner uses a different c++ compiler and it only works with that one
It fails again, realize you installed visual studio wrong somehow so spend an hour trying to get the visual studio installer to find and uninstall it before deleting the installation directory entirely and installing the required version again
It still fails, the project looks for version “” of protobuf but you have “3.1.10.1” so you reconfigure it to look for a real version of protobuf
It fails again, some tool that isn’t in the readme is required to build it
It fails again, it’s not actually compatible with windows yet
Give up and wait for pre built binaries

Edit: did the other guy that responded block me? I got a notification about it but can’t load the comment
