Maybe some easter eggs can also be added :P.\n\nUnfortunately macros are not context aware, which means that we may need to overcome this shortcoming by using `#ifdef` directives inside macro definitions.\n\n## SETUP instructions\nThese instructions are valid for both contributors and users of this manual.\n1. Install [CMake](https://cmake.org/).\n2. Clone this repository: `git clone https://github.com/IronicallySerious/wth-is-cpp`\n3. Navigate to `wth-is-cpp/` and create a `build/` directory: `cd wth-is-cpp/ \u0026\u0026 mkdir build`\n4. Run CMake: `cd build/ \u0026\u0026 cmake ..`\n5. Execution instructions:\n\t1. For Linux users:\n\t\t1. Navigate to `build/`\n\t\t2. Build the project: `make`\n\t\t3. Run: `./wth-is-cpp`\n\t2. For Windows users:\n\t\t1. Open `Project.sln` from `wth-is-cpp/build` in Visual Studio (recommended for Intellisense suggestions)\n\t\t2. Right click on `wth-is-cpp` project and select `Select as StartUp Project`\n\t\t3. Press F5 to build and run.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftwaritwaikar%2Fwth-is-cpp","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftwaritwaikar%2Fwth-is-cpp","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftwaritwaikar%2Fwth-is-cpp/lists"}
