Nice! I am a programmer and perhaps I can begin developing apps which use steem, like some game sites and possibly a marketplace. Like a steembay lol. It is good to see that they have made the source code open source, as independent programmers will be able to contribute to steem through github.
This will definitely make steem better in the long run as well as make it much more secure. I am looking forward to perusing the source code and seeing how it works.

BSD license. Good. I'm not a huge fan of it, but it has its place and this is definitely an example of where it should be used.
CMake. Good. The GNU tools for configuring and building have been superseded - largely through inadequate maintenance and lots of cruft. CMake isn't perfect, way too much logic in one program, but again this is a perfect example of where you would want to use it.
C++ files. Interesting. Those who are into bug bounty hunting might want to check US CERT's website for advised security practices with C++. I don't really see enough natively-compiled code to worry too much, but if you want to grab bounties then I'd start with the simplest part and work out.
Freshmeat - damn, Freecode - is dead, so I can't add this to the vast array of projects I used to monitor and front-page. However, consider the repository tagged.

So who tried to build the thing ?
I tried on Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS with no success yet, it appears to need a OSX library .... fsevents, and I don't know to desactivate this ....
Any place, forum to discuss about those issues ?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Fsevents is Mac OS/X's equivalent of Linux' inotify. I can't find any abstraction library to hide which API is being used, which is annoying as a lot of software uses fsevents. If both could be hidden behind a POSIX API, everyone would be happy and the software developers could live happily ever after. A portability library could be developed by Steem and used by their software, but it should really be external to Steem the engine so that everyone could use it.
