Hello, I’m a bit new to advanced linux and programming stuffs… Can someone explain me why compiling exists and what this process does and how to do it in the principals situations (I’ve heard that you can use the “makepkg” command). Thx to everyone who replied.

    Yes, but for developers it’s good to not have to program for each CPU architecture/OS.

    I can write some C, C++ or Rust code and compile it for loads of platforms and have it do the same thing (simplified).
