CIDLib: C++ Development Environment

Re:CIDLib: C++ Development Environment by Game_Ender on Saturday March 09, 2019 @02:08PM (#19347833)

It's interesting to see code bases like this. It does sort of have it all, custom build system, IDL, implementations of things like XML and JPEG. Very symptomatic of the need slowly being filled in the C++ community for a popular build system and package manager.

I hope the author reconsiders their custom license that prevents any public forks of the code base. It's already very hard to get anything out of non-standard monoliths like this, with a custom license that chance drops close to zero.

I have a feeling that the author doesn't really want people to get anything out of the library in the first place but instead people build on it as a monolith.

The GitHub terms of service allow forking any repository, regardless of what the license says.

It's been changed. I'll look into some of the standard licenses soon when I have a chance. It's not even really important at moment, given that no one can even build it yet. I have to do some work to split my environmental setup stuff up because it's all currently up above the CIDLib/CQC layer. The CIDLib stuff needs to moved down into the repository visible directory.
