the joy of compiling

[littleman]

Am I a freak, or are there others who get a charge of compiling code?

...and please don't put the obvious answer, which is "both". :-)

Hi littleman,

The joys and often frustrations of compiling code.

Yes I enjoy compiling but prefer to be called a geek

Too old to learn any other way ;)

I thought you meant our every day code..

Don't think I have the time to do it... not to compile but to maintain and update everything that I've compiled. That's the main reason I moved from Slackware to Debian, it has a lot more precompiled packages and a nice package manager.

Using configure is totally uncool. Running configure -> make -> make test -> make install is just no fun any more. Manually figuring out the compiler flags, locations of libs, etc. and compiling and linking yourself, thatīs where the fun begins ;) ME THINKS NOT!
