Agreed. This sounds like the kind of thing I'd like to fill my Tuesday evening with, but had to refer to the instructions from the kind commenter below to install packages to build the LaTeX file since my Texmaker refused point-blank to have anything to do with it.

Of course it's Linux only, so means using WSL on my Windows laptop.

Managed to open the file, no instructions whatsoever for finding a compiler other than 'get the GCC one'. Okay. Found the mirror, downloaded it and just now reading the installation manual. Yes, it's a manual, basically. Two dozen prerequisite packages to install by hand before I do anything else.

It's guaranteed not to work on WSL so I'll have to spend an hour or two just getting a compiler up and running, that's assuming it works at all and I don't just have to fire up a Debian VM and start again.

I get C is hard, and is supposed to be hard, but it's like GNU are going out of their way to make this intentionally more difficult than it needs to be.
