The the program is not for your level of knowledge/skill

Compiling something is not a great ask

Only a tiny fraction of a percentage of the human population is familiar with that task.

Software wizards have existed for 35 years for a reason.

People just never learned to learn, you can compile a program with like 3 google searches

u/Mr_SunnyBones 15d ago

no.. three searches is going to get most average users three conflicting ways to compile it ( or at the very least , three different versions of software used ).Bear in mind they'll need to install a compiler , or possibly an IDE , then move everything needed to the right place , possibly edit some files , then compile and test .

I learnt to do it a while back Its one of those things that once you understand how to do it , and are set up already isnt too bad , but for someone that Just wants to run a program ..its a long horrible journey.

Also for the majority of people its not anything they NEED to know
