#c_lang
You can build C projects using only a C compiler without needing tools like make or cmake by using the "nob" library, which lets you write build instructions in C itself. This makes your build process very portable across many systems (Linux, Windows, MacOS, etc.) because it depends only on the C compiler, which is widely available. It also lets you reuse code between your project and build system since both use C. However, it requires comfort with C programming and is mainly useful for simpler C/C++ projects, not complex ones with many dependencies. You just include the single header file "nob.h" to start using it. This approach simplifies building and increases control if you prefer coding your build steps in C directly.

Grand #Ethiopian Renaissance Dam: how #Africa’s largest hydropower project Is powering #Ethiopia’s future
A detailed examination of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam – its construction, specifications, commissioning, regional impact, and remaining challenges.
The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (#GERD) is the largest hydropower project in Africa. Located on the #Blue_Nile in Ethiopia’s #Benishangul-Gumuz region, about 14km from the Sudanese border, the project has been delivered by Ethiopian Electric Power (#EEP) with major civil works undertaken by #Webuild Group (formerly #Salini Impregilo).
The objective of the dam is to increase Ethiopia’s electricity generation capacity, reduce dependence on imported energy, and support long-term industrial and economic development.
Construction began in 2011, and Ethiopia officially inaugurated......
