The chaos before the storm

Continuing my adventures on the treacherous CMake lands, progress was real, the end of the road was in view, but the dark forces never rest, and now Irma was on the way... which was worse than it sounds.

The toolchain I previously found proved to be useful after various tweaks; it was last updated for CMake versions close to 2.8, which is about 10 versions old, but works nonetheless. I have managed to obtain a iOS build system created but I still have some issues to fix, there seems to be some linker issues, but hopefully it's not something too complicated... hope has not been an ally in this journey though. The process involved generating an iOSSetup shell script to attach the toolchain to CMake and setting up some variables to let know CMake where to look. Other CMake specifics have been isolated.

Then Irma came (or at least was "said to come this way.") The forces of evil that I have been fending off were not happy with my progress, they were angry. This halted my work as I prepared for the storm and helped out friends and family to prepare. At this point I still did not believe it was going to come this way or that a category 1ish would not do much harm, i was a fool. I was stopped in my tracks for 3 days straight after the full might of the evil horde (of wind gusts) that left me in darkness and hampered my ability to move, I was stranded in with no power, transport and with a bunch of yummy treats and water (but no soda.) After the storm passed I had to continue my work on my side hustle (aka PCP online class) in which my fellowship had disbanded (apparently they don't care for a few points of teamwork) I understand tho... they were making us do weird stuff.

Now it is time to fully charge into the end of the road, and see what lies there.
