How-To Use C++ Libraries (without relying on a package manager)

In this video, we talk about C++ Libraries and how to generally use them with your project. Examples are given with Visual Studio Community Edition and GLFW3. Some basic knowledge of programming is assumed.

Lmao i have never seen any youtuber getting stuck in the middle of the video with an error he has no idea about, then he goes into solving it for a minute eventually gives up and moves ahead with the video and keeps all this in the final edit of the video 🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏

You have no idea how much I struggled to find an explanation of this. LIFE SAVER

I'm getting into C++ for the first since college and this definitely helped, thanks for the content!

Never have been so pleased with music outro.

Do a part 2 gosh darn it!!! I wanna watch it

Hey, I have to say just one thing, you are awsome man. I just went through your tutorial set about cmake.. And it is clear as it should Keep up the good work. Peace!!!

[alexmattyou]

Wow, I can understand the power of Github. I never know this before. I usually download the source and built it. Great tutorial thanks.

[bayroot]

Oh my god, finally a video that actually helps. Thank you so much!

[tljstewart]

This is gold man, please do a part 2!

[marcoorca]

Thanks, now I understand it a bit better now!

[hugotorquato]

Amazing video, you make it sound easy lol. But you helped me with a problem here, thanks :)

This guy is soo guy, he just accidentally wrote the code for a virus in under a minute. In just 6 lines of code he put fear into the bones of one of the biggest tech companies in the world [7:20]

That was a relatively simple example. What about something more complicated? Building the Qt library or building a cross compiler toolchain. What about many additional dependencies that you may need only for building libraries and not using them? Also what about different kinds of build systems used by all those libraries and their dependencies? That's why there are people who prefer the conan or vcpkg. Package managers save time, nerves and mental energy. Do you prefer building your own LFS or using some more practical prebuilt Linux distro?

So damn confused. Feels pretty hopless trying to learn this shit on my own

Hi, could you do a tutorial on adding an already existing library like (OpenCV) into your own CMakeLists. So that when you build, CMake automatically downloads the opencv from resources repository, builds it and links it with your project.

Watching on a phone is really hard pls keep this in mind other than that thanks for the great content

[DevLearn-lvnr]

hi - the libraries you were trying to find during the video - were they pre compiled library objects or just source code libraries (that need to be compiled) ?

[likwidmocean]

I'm prepping for an interview with aws for alexa embedded functionality built in c++. Most my experience is in c#, any architecture advice? Odd gotchas, stuff like that?

It's actually npm, but close enough!

Hello, I am looking for information about construction of C++ libraries.
And how they compile to ASM.
