 ## Building
-to build the program, run the following command:
+to build the program, you will need a c++ compiler. I have no idea what im doing with cmake so this uses a very basic make file that is made to build the linux and windows binaries.
+If you are on windows, good luck. I have no clue how to setup g++ on windows. I would recommend using WSL or a VM. If you are on linux, you can build the program with the following commands 
+(assuming you have g++ installed):
 ```bash
-$ cmake . -B build
-$ cd build && make
+$ make
 $ ./owo "Hello, world!"
 hewwo, wowld!
