Somebody built 201 C++ and C# projects in the same TFS directory structure. Third-party libraries from source, thirty-two and sixty-four bit versions side by side. Five different methods of including libraries found so far.

"Hey, buni, go extract the cURL system to a side file so we can get it out of our build tree." Nice and simple. I've been here for three hours and I only just now understand how much more work there is to do.

And yet... nobody else did it.

@literorrery my build for our rootkit installer/injector involved cl.exe, nasm, bash scripts, encrypting segments in python, mingw, catting binaries together, rebuilding the pe header... home made runtime lib functions so manual linking wouldn't mix Malloc versions... it was pure hell.

@Fuego Yikes. Yeah, I know that pain very well. I know all that pain.
