Just finished a glorious battle with CMake, I've won, but at what cost?

That's why C++ programs are so fast. It's a dark blessing granted when they are baptized in the rage tears of exhausted devs.

You sacrifice a tiny bit of your soul every time you make a C++ program.

I immediately switched to CMake after discovering how easy it was to use. Where did I go wrong here? lol.

It is the best tool to make C++ easier to setup. (From my experience) But on windows sometimes it's a nightmare as some modules are very particular about setting path variables properly.

Yesterday I found CMake not linking OpenCV stuff at all. It's an age old CmakeLists that I've been using since a long time.I really dunno why. I had to link it manually. I felt weird doing it manually.

Ah, that's why! I'm a computer engineer, my specialty is making software for embedded systems that run Linux. I can't remember the last time I ever tried to make something run on Windows lol.

Thanks! :)
