Great! Thanks a lot for your effort!

[@moofymoo]

I think this is best intro to cmake I have seen, cmake start to make sense now.

[@udaymandhata]

Calling out the differences between legacy cmake and modern cmake was very helpful. Nice overview!

[@mockingbird3809]

really loved that C++ symbol there. creative.

[@unevaguejaune8671]

Great talk, starting from scratch with CMake is a real pain. Thanks for making it a bit easier.

[@iviivanovicilic]

Good job man! Great calm and precise way of speaking. I like.

[@invest.strategy.offical]

Great introduction to CMake! Thank you so much!

So basically you need to learn a language to generate a file written in a different language so that that file can build code in a third language.

I have activated the automatic subtitles/CC function for the video, if you have problem the hear the audio, this should help, most of the translation is pretty good. For the few parts where googls AI add worng/funny words, everyone can help to improve the subtitles, help is very much appreciated. kzbin.info_video?ref=share&v=jt3meXdP-QI. More info about adding and improving subtitles can be found at the C++ Video Access Project, cppvap.wikidot.com/

Amazing Lecture. Thank you!

[@billchenxi]

Did you guys feel the slide is hard to read? For some reason, it is a low resolution to me, did I miss something?

[@SwedenCpp]

The slide recording is what was stream into the projector, and this was not a 1080p projector, but an older model. So yes, it is not as high res as from other talks / events we have.

[@leduke79]

I think that a talk this long should have some index in the description, when rewatching for quick reference.

[@SwedenCpp]

Since everything on this channel is based on volunteer and spare time work, you are more welcome to create an index. I will happily add it to the video description.

[@moofymoo]

if we all light a candle and say the words we should not write in comment section, we might summon The Timestamps Guy!

[@nadirmengal7230]

Slides are blurry.

[@rathinavelsankaralingam2929]

Great lecture! Thank you very much Sir!

[@MathyosSarkiss]

thank you

[@yokozombie]

Seen some videos on CMake, so far this is the BEST of them. Incredibly simple and straightforward. Thanks. (To normalize audio gain though would be nice.) As a nice addition would be also to mention using target_compile_features, may be: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKS7fYCHa7yaf80

[@vbrucehunt8617]

Would be even better if speaker learned to repeat questions before answering them. Thus including viewers in all of the presentation.

It’s hard to understand your English. It’s not comment it’s called command. Komaand.

[@adamhendry945]

cmake = Bourne-style shell scripting

[@tauicsicsics]

The video is good, but the audio quality is just horrible

[@SwedenCpp]

I am pretty sure you do not mean the whole audio of the video, because I think the speaker is pretty good to hear. So being a bit more specific would be much more helpful. If you mean the comments and questions of the audience, yes, with the investment of 3 to 4 hours of spare time this could have been improved. SwedenCpp is based on 100% volunteer work, no money involved. We have a standing request for help, especially for the video editing, everyone can feel free to apply and offer help.

[@barryrevzin6948]

It is *incredibly* quiet. Even with max volume, can barely hear it.

[@tauicsicsics]

SwedenCpp indeed is very very quiet, I have all volumes at maximum and I cannot hear it

[@SwedenCpp]

Thanks for this info! This is feedback I can use for future work and I think I know how to improve this for future video work. For this video, if you have problem to hear it, with headphones the audio should be pretty good and clear. sorry, but this is the best idea for a bugfix I have at the moment

[@tauicsicsics]

SwedenCpp thanks. Sorry I listen to a lot of conferences and this is the only one that I really could not hear at maximum(yes, with headphones, but cheap ones)
