Why is compiling on Windows such a nightmare?

@Ispil: generally cross-compilation requires the headers and libraries for the system you're compiling for. It's almost identical to actually compiling on that system. To cross compile from Linux to Windows you need MinGW, for example.

All other projects using CMake "just work" because that's what CMake is designed to do: it makes stuff just work. This is the first library I've come across where the developers explicitly went out of their way to prevent something that CMake supports out of the box.

As much as I agree that it would be nice if things worked like this, they just don't. If you want to waste time screwing around with build systems until you get everything neat und tidy, that's your prerogative. I prefer to work in the projects I actually want to work in.

Or you can just make your own build system.
CMake is more than sufficient, and people who don't want to mess with it can use biicode.
