 ## The standard cmake installer from source
 
-```bash
-cmake .. && cmake --build && make && make install
+After long and arduous struggle with CMake, I concluded:
+
+That it is the hardest path from MSVC to linux.
+
+That no one uses it as their first choice to go from linux to windows, so it
+is likely to be a hard journey in the other direction.
+
+I also found that the CMake scripting language was one of those
+accidental languages.
+
+CMakeLists.text was intended as a simple list of every file.  And then one
+feature after another was added, ad hoc, with no coherent plan and vision,
+and eventurally so many features as to become Turing Complete, but like
+most accidental turing complete languages, inconsistent, unpredictable, and
+the code entirely opaque, and the whole way the developers did not
+want their language to be used as a language.
+
+CMake has gone down the wrong path, should have started with a known
+language whose first class types are strings, list of strings, maps of
+strings, maps of named maps of strings, and maps of maps, and CMake should
+create a description of the build environment that it discovers, and a
+description of the directory in which it was run in the native types of that
+language, and attempt to create a hellow world program in that language
+that invokes the compiler and the linker.  Which program the developer
+modifies as needed.
+
+That MSVC's embrace of cmake is one of those embrace and extend
+weirndesses, and will take you on a path to ever closer integration with
+non free software, rather than off that path.  Either that or the people
+integrating it were just responding to an adhoc list of integration features.
+
+That attempting a CMake build of the project using MSVC was a bad idea.
+MingGW first, then MingGW integrated into vscode, in an all choco windows
+environment without MSVC present.
+
+```bat
+choco install mingw pandoc git vscode gpg4win -y
 ```
 
-To support this on linux, Cmakelists.txt needs to contain
-
-```default
-project (Test)
-add_executable(test main.cpp)
-install(TARGETS test)
-```
-
-On linux, `install(TARGETS test)` is equivalent to `install(TARGETS test DESTINATION bin)`
+That Cmake does not really work all that well with the MSVC environment.  If we eventually take the CMake path, it will be after wc and build on MingGW, not before.
