TBH, I wonder why they all have so many dependencies. I doubt they use most of it or just one line in one file or something. Or an older version would be fine. Or just write your own stuff, geez.
They always force everyone to upgrade everything to the bleeding edge of a gazillion libraries, for no apparent reason.
i been telling you about this go thing
they don't do bleeding edge, you can build almost everything still 10 years later
You should think about using containers for this.. much better. It's what apps crave. Their own world of deps specific to the app and nothing else..
Sometimes they even give you a container, or a build script for one. Makes life much easier and safer. You don't want those deps on your main machine running wild anyway..
Docker would crush my ancient machine.
I would try to recommend systemd-nspawn, the lightest of containers. But it's only docs are the man pages and I'm too lazy to write tutorials about it yet.. 😎📡🐛
there is only one programming environment and language that respects everyone
i'm not even gonna bother to repeat it, so tired of trying to explain this to people
