Does he prefer fighting libtool, make, cmake, configure, automake, autoconf and autoreconf just to add a couple libraries into his project? When I tried to use C, I wrote 10 lines of code and spent hours trying to make all that shit work. It makes me laugh when people say Rust is complicated.

It really is not that complicated. You just use -llibrary when linking and it links.

Oh I never realized I was supposed to install -dev packages, I thought I had to compile myself.

Whether you need -dev packages (for headers) depends on your operating system. I run Gentoo. All headers are always on the system. Other distributions ship the headers separately in -dev packages to save space and you need to install them. You likely can install all -dev packages for everything on your system so you do not need to get the individual ones.
