Easy compared to what, assembly? I am comfortable with 3 programming languages, and learning 4 others, and compiling C is not "relatively easy". Especially considering the scope: $ cd openssl-master $ find -name '*.c' -exec wc -l {} + | tail -1 419738 total 400,000 lines of C. > I am not presuming, but assuming some amount of technical expertise, based on > a poster asking about openssl configuration and which ECs they want to > support. If they need more help they can ask in a follow up. reread the post: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2019-06/msg00012.html He shows some domain knowledge of OpenSSL, but where are you getting that he knows about compiling C? A conservative read would reveal that he might have no knowledge of compiling C, and you want him to compile 400,000 lines of C because its "easy". > Please refrain from your own inappropriate assumptions and meta-commentary > based on that, as this is not a social media platform. No, but it is a public forum. and I will call out nonsense if I see it. As your type of comments are off putting to new users. > Why would you assume the poster is a novice?
