Having external dependencies or foreign code can cause problems. So writing everything by yourself has advantages:

• Having no frameworks is a lean approach with low overhead
• Writing own tooling help to understand the project's needs
• Solving problems on your increases the developer's skills
• Not having a foreign code means not having to rely on others
• Can be set up and compiled off-line
• reduced binary size because only what's needed is implemented
• fully compatible with your target platform
• no exotic dependencies

# install needed packages
sudo apt install build-essential make gcc

# build a static library, run test, and build executeable
cd project
make
