IIC it works now. Cool!
What does IIC mean? "Impact Insulation Class" does not sound right. Does it mean "I'm internally chuckling"?
Meant to write IAC (In Any Case), but we'll go with I'm internally chuckling.
Also recommend modifying the build procedure so that make automagically includes the git commit tag from the version used to create the binary, and a cin --version option to inquire without it starting the GUI.
Good suggestions. It was brought up before to include the "git commit tag" but I can not remember why it was not implemented.
Implemented such at my last job by saving git-commit-string as a macro that could be read by the compiler and expanded during compiler preprocessing. the slight complication with your build system is that you don't always build from a git repo so in lieu of being able to call "git log" you would need an authoritative fall-back text file .version??? as part of the build.
