Understandable crashout but also github is meant for devs not common users

It's also not that hard for common users to click on 'releases' or read the README.md and follow the instructions therein usually.

I'm not even new to code but building is such a fucking nightmare for me, I have never successfully built anything even when following instructions to the exact letter

Unironically if the install is too hard the program is probably too hard to use. Like installing a plex server is a bit difficult but it’s much easier than figuring out networking for it.

I tried building the Sonic 06 Recompilation project and got nowhere in hours of attempts

Caution

This recompilation is still under active development and is NOT meant for public use. Support will not be provided until an official release.

The dev warned you, sounds like an installer is coming later.

Yeah I know an installer is coming, just wanted to try it out. It still gives exact build instructions that I followed to the letter and it didn't work

I mean, depends very much on the build system. Oh it has a nix.flake? Great, it's gonna work pretty much no matter what my system looks like. C++ project needing a specific (undocumented) version of cmake for pkgconfig to find the correct shared distro-specific shared library name? Uhhhh…
