Huh?
Do you seriously think just 'git clone' will get you anywhere?
This wouldn't even work with helloworld.cc, let alone with something
nontrivial such as libstorage, libyui, libyui-qt, libyqui-qt-pkg and
whatnot.
You need to set up a development environment. You need a working
compiler with everything and roughly a dozen -devel packages for all
kinds of libs. You need quite a number of them in the correct version.
You need a number of them from some Devel:Something repo on OBS or IBS.
And I probably forgot a number of steps in this list.
Setting up such a development environment from scratch will take a very
efficient developer with the necessary know-how about half a day. For
somebody less experienced, I'd guess it's more like half a week until
everything is working.
That scenario is just unrealistic. If we can get 'rake osc:build' on top
of everything else, that's fine with me. But this is NOT a substitute
(it doesn't even come close) to a working Autotools environment (even
CMake is inferior to that IMHO).
We cannot and we don't want to dumb down the C++ development
environments that much. That would hit us hard in our everyday work.
Kind regards
