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
- Check out my tasks.json for C++ of VScode
- 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
-
How do you even get started programming in c++ on Windows?
Anyway, I have combined various talks and the reference docs into an opinionated package for easy consumption: https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init You'll find many things implemented here and the examples wiki page in a proper manner. I have also been told by someone who owns the book that it closely resembles things that are also in the book, just less words and more code.
-
File and folder structuring conventions
Stick with pitchfork style also mentioned in the thread. I use https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init to get the boilerplate out of the way for new projects.
-
CMake+Conan2 project template example repositories?
I can confirm that cmake-init works with Conan v2.
-
How do you use the Catch testing library?
Use cmake-init. It uses vcpkg or conan to automatically download and install catch2 for you.

Cross Compile
While not embedded, but here is an example for compiling with LLVM Clang on Windows without needing vcvarsall.

What Linux distros and environment setup are recommended/optimal for C++ development?
CMake, Clang and Conan work all the same on all operating systems. I don't know why you would like to force yourself into one kind of environment that might not suit your needs in other areas as well. On Windows, you can even use LLVM Clang without godawful hacks like mingw.
-
Build2 seems to have the right idea.
From a quick searching I found what it takes to compile a Windows executable on macOS, these flags could be very easily turned into a toolchain file and the situation would be similar on Linux as well.
-
Thoughts on build systems?
cmake-init was just for a general project setup. One of the examples in fact shows what a toolchain file should look like.
