That's precisley why official/standard build systems suck, they are extremly cumbersome to wrangle when you go off the beaten path.

So the irony is that standard build systems/package manager are whats good for hello worlds, non-trivial programs require custom build steps.

Just let me write a build.bat/build.sh per platform/compiler/configuration that are explicit and precise in compiler flags, paths, output files, pre/post processing, etc so nothing magical is happening under the hood.
