Needs more documentation #1

Open BozoLives opened 1 month ago

Pretty poor documentation. I put a .h file in a new directory and main file can't find it. I don't want my .cpp file to be called main.cpp, rather choose my own name. Is there a working directory. Is the "new" directory the working directory where I can locate a data input file. Lot's of questions your "help" leaves out. I may want a refund and start over with your 'minus' edition.

There are Tide Examples where you can read how to accomplish what you want. Needless to say, you're being unnecessarily hostile for something that's in your ball park.

Look, on the iPad the issue is not having the ability to run any process at will. One can't just (in an Apple Store App) spawn other processes from various places. Hence for something quick which doesn't require these I ran with a QMake-like syntax parser. Long story short, one cannot easily use CMake right now, on the iPad.

But: I have started over the last year to allow CMake to build and run on iPadOS, now it needs regular UNIX tools ported over as no_system libraries, including a full shell capable of executing CMake's test-scripts and commands. The tide branch of https://github.com/fredldotme/CMake allows you to build your own, and the 3rdparty/bootstrap.sh already has some bash for this.

It is shipped in some variation in the current Tide App Store releases.

On Linux Releases (sudo snap install tide-ide --classic) I just got CMake from recent git.

Right now I am torn between WONTFIX and taking care of it later.
