Question from an uneducated retard
1) Why do so many Git projects come without an exe?
2) How do I "build" this thing, and why don't authors do it for me?
Some authors provide autobuilt executables under releases tho.

> building software on windows is a bit of a pain
At some point, I am not even sure who to be pissed off at. -_-
On Linux, 98% of the time just cd to the directly, run the make command to compile it and that'll give you a binary in the directory you can use right there. If you want to install it then just run make install
The person to be mad at is Microsoft

Question from an uneducated retard
@LukeAlmighty most things on github have actual built releases from my experience. Are you looking in the right spot? The releases are on the right hand sidebar.
Building software is a total pain in the dick though. When I built that version of mission control it literally would not build on windows, flat out. I had to build it on Linux.
@sjw @LukeAlmighty I still had to figure out a couple libraries that I needed that weren't listed as requirements lol but yeah it was much easier on Linux.
@LukeAlmighty the replyto both questions is: because devs are just too lazy.
