Gemini 2.5 Pro vs. Claude 3.7 Sonnet: Coding Comparison

Here is a real coding problem that I might be willing to make a cash-prize contest for. We'd need to nail down some rules. I'd be shocked if any LLM can do this:

https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/issues/1414

Make a GTK 4 version of Solvespace. We have a single C++ file for each platform - Windows, Mac, and Linux-GTK3. There is also a QT version on an unmerged branch for reference. The GTK3 file is under 2KLOC. You do not need to create a new version, just rewrite the GTK3 Linux version to GTK4. You may either ask it to port what's there or create the new one from scratch.

If you want to do this for free to prove how great the AI is, please document the entire session. Heck make a YouTube video of it. The final test is weather I accept the PR or not - and I WANT this ticket done.

I'm not going to hold my breath.

You guys really need a Docker build. This dependency chain with submodules is a nightmare.

I'm a hater of complexity and build systems in general. Following the instructions for building solvespace on Linux worked for me out of the box with zero issues and is not difficult. Just copy some commands:

>I'm a hater of complexity and build systems in general.

But you already have a complex cmake build system in place. Adding a standard Docker image with all the deps for devs to compile on would do nothing but make contributing easier, and would not affect your CI/CD/testing pipeline at all. I followed the readme and spent half an hour trying to get this to build for MacOS before giving up.

If building your project for all supported environments requires anything more than a single one-line command, you're doing it wrong.
