use a less generic name than "main" for the executable
Hello!
As previously mentioned elsewhere (https://mastodon.social/@byterhymer/109989882945679282 for reference) I would like to make an effort at creating a MacPort Portfile for whisper.cpp given my recent overwhelmingly positive experience with building and running the tool on a system which has been challenged by many other speech to text software suites.
However, as it currently stands, whisper.cpp's Makefile generates an executable named "main" which seems as if it may be better to rename to something else?
I am not the author, so I do not wish to presume what may be a better name, and while can probably create a Portfile and have it:
% mv main whispercpp
or something similar, the likelihood that I would end up choosing a different executable name than the upstream project seems non zero and this would probably lead to confusion if I were to put the cart in front of the idiomatic horse as the expression goes. ;)
Since @ggerganov seemed amenable to the request in a reply and asked me to open an issue so it is not forgotten (and I do not see any extent issues or PRs citing anything similar), I am doing so here.
Thank you!🙏
Sure!
