Cross plattform C++ development is challenging
summary
Claim: cross-platform C++ is hard but concrete tooling makes it practical. Demonstrations use vcpkg (~700 ports) to fetch libraries, CMake as the build system with a CMake toolchain file for vcpkg integration, VS Code and Visual Studio for edit/build/debug, and remote Linux debugging via SSH with an indexed remote header cache. The presenter builds a Pong app and debugs OpenSCAD on a remote host successfully, notes Conan and containers as alternatives, and warns MSBuild is Windows-only for C++.
