    MSYS2 vs CLion

    Hey. I am trying to use CLion ide for my C11 Windows projects cause VS is not supporting it, and I have some weird issues with it, I can compile exact same thing with gcc from console but somehow Cmake is focking up everything. I have set my toolchain to C\msys64\mingw64 etc and I can import ie zlib, but I cant use any things from it, in example:

    Code:
    import <zlib.h>; //ok
    int main() { 
    printf(zlib_version); //error no such thing zlib_version
    }
    Seriously why this $#$% have to be such a complicated butth@rt? How can I use anything with that $@%@ piece of garbage cmake?

    I was not aware that C11 introduced such an import statement, and when I searched my copy of C11, I couldn't find it, so it looks like your example is invalid. Perhaps you meant to use the normal #include ?

    I also did a check of zlib.h, and it looks like you want ZLIB_VERSION, not zlib_version, i.e., PEBKAC: it may or may not also be the fault of your tools, but it is absolutely your own fault.

    I get maybe two dozen requests for help with some sort of programming or design problem every day. Most have more sense than to send me hundreds of lines of code. If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
