#cmakepresets — Public Fediverse posts

wrote my first CMakePresets.json file yesterday.

I like it, I guess? Now I don't have to write a Makefile or a BUILDING.md that is just copypasta of my command line arguments. Can just say "use the xyz cmake preset"

1. Why json? (but at least it allows comments)
2. I wish it would just use the presets file by default
3. especially if there's a preset named "default"
