Is there Course or Articles about C/C++ build tools?

Question

For many years I knew how to write code in C++ but struggled to develop software in C++ because of not understanding the build tools. I saw a recent question asking if you can make graphical programs here on sololearn in C++ (the answer is "no") and this highlights the fact that beginners interested in C++ really don't understand a big part of it: using 3rd party libraries to build more complex software, and the build tools that need to be in place for development in C++ to be possible.

Are we able to create/submit articles on this type of topic for sharing through sololearn's platform? If not, can we suggest topics for courses or articles?

I've found over the last 25 years that this topic is the most lacking when it comes to how important it is and needs to be stressed more to beginners, as it is a major blockage to them actually building something that is useful beyond a hello world or a tic tac toe (console) program.

Answer 1

These build tools have their own tutorials. You physically can not (and should not) try to make sololearn a tutorial for all things related to programming. Anyone who is interested in this sort of programming would find and learn these tools themselves quite easily. Breastfeeding beginners leads to nothing good. They should be able to do their own research and solve their own problems to learn and progress.
