There's this library that uses the latest c++23 features for windows specific system stuff. I used it to make a pong game. It runs for VS. But Idk how to make it run anywhere else. I want to make it run using a makefile. Im pretty sure it uses clang to compile. I've tried chat gpt and that failed me. Just give me a call if you're happy to discuss more details any time.
Private library can't be accessessed online, and the name is irrelevant to the scenario.

It's a '/' instead of '!'. If thats the right one 😅

wdym? treat me like the ignorant that i am

royal trout
#

Maybe you could use an build system like cmake for your orginal question. But im only using it for some stuff. So i donno if thats the best choice in your case.

#

Can you link to the library?

frank mason
#

the library is private, and the owner asked me to not share it.

#

I can't use cmake because the rubric (stupid) states it can only be makefile

silk tulip
#

Rubric?

frank mason
#

It's for an assignment I have, the project is done but the rubric says it has to run on a makefile

silk tulip
#

Alright

#

So what's the question? How to write makefiles?

frank mason
#

The question is:
how do I use makefile to compile something that uses features from c++23?

#

in other words, I just need to compile it. if I figure that out the makefile is easy

royal trout
#

Use cmake and use the generated makefile kekw

frank mason
#

Also, it has to be in windows

silk tulip
#

Enabling C++23 is trivial, you just use the -std=c++23 compiler flag

#

The harder part is writing the rest of the makefile

frank mason
#

I did that and tried runing it with that flag and it came with error. about direct2D

silk tulip
#

Why didn't you mention it in your original post?

#

Show the error and your makefile

frank mason
#

true my fault. give me a min.

#

I attached makefile as .txt so u can see it in discord

#

I've got it compiling in a visual studio solution, i just don't know how

silk tulip
#

So it's not about the makefile, it's about the different compiler not liking your code

#

You'll need to debug this, it's on you

note: because 'StringView16{static_cast<decltype(args) &&>(args)...}' would be invalid: no matching constructor for
initialization of 'StringView16' (aka 'BasicStringView<const char16_t>')
Start by looking at what constructors StringView16 has
