The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

CMake install schema for single- and multi-config generators
https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init This is how you do CMake properly. If you deviate from its install rules you are highly likely to do something wrong.

cgen: another declarative CMake configuration generator
CMake itself is as declarative as a build systems need to be. For anything nontrivial, these "declarative" solutions all fall apart. Just use https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init, learn CMake and you won't have any issues.

How does one actually build a C++ project
If you want something with a (mostly) Just Works experience then just use https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init
- CMakeList.txt, add_executable vs. add_library vs. target_link_libraries vs. target_link_directories
- Check out my tasks.json for C++ of VScode
- Clang++ Halp

Putting libraries in program folder
For CMake basics check out the official "Getting started" tutorial: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/guide/tutorial/index.html, as well as Introduction to Modern CMake. You can also get inspired by the CMake project generator cmake-init
- Recourses to help understand libraries/projects and setting them up?

How to Create a Modern C Project with CMake and Conan
You can just use https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init to get a CMake + Conan C project ready to go with a short little command: cmake-init --c -e -p conan coolio

Anyone else get frustrated when a block of time you wanted to spend to learning code instead goes into why some software isn’t working right on your computer?
The downside for CMake is that it’s famously crappy in its own way and the internet is full of bad examples. This isn’t terrible: https://github.com/ttroy50/cmake-examples/blob/master/01-basic/H-third-party-library/CMakeLists.txt

confusion when trying to understand the use cases of dynamic and static libraries
I found a github repo I'm going to use as tutorial: https://github.com/ttroy50/cmake-examples

Please review my code (2.0)
And one of the best ressources ever to get started with Cmake is this repo: https://github.com/ttroy50/cmake-examples
- help with making a cmake file

I would recommend having a look at this repository

IDE recommendations and usage
For projects with external dependencies, I suggest starting with a lightweight editor like Atom, Sublime Text or VSCode without plugins. Try building with command line CMake, see here for some basics: https://github.com/ttroy50/cmake-examples
