That's right; and learning stuff like make, let

is incredibly frustrating for me because tutorials all seem to go from the
trivial Hello World level straight to levels that I find incomprehensible.
I guess I will go back and read again the old QT3 Development book, which
IIRC covers designing GUIs manually; but right now, TDevelop seems
useless, failing with this library incompatibility error; and the Designer
crashing outright.
The examples on the WIKI are also good. I remember I went through them.
Designer was causing me troubles as well and I recall there are bug reports
in TGW, but no one has the time to repair.
I am pretty happy with Eclipse. I have it installed and setup in 2018. I am
afraid to touch it (upgrade etc), because it is working very well. I can
only recommend. It has plugins for cmake as well and can autobuild.
You need to know besides the language itself C/C++ also some basics - how
include works, how build works (g++). To make life easier, people created
first automake and then cmake. Then you have the packaging system for the
distro. So when you write code you have the short way - to run g++ from the
command line with all the options, or to use one of the build systems.
If you want to create a package, you must use the packaging system on top of
the former.
It just takes time to sync in, so do a little step every day
