  • CPM.cmake

    📦 CMake's missing package manager. A small CMake script for setup-free, cross-platform, reproducible dependency management.

  • We're using vcpkg - tried conan previously. I think both are good, but both of them have their own flaws. You can also go with something like https://github.com/cpm-cmake/CPM.cmake if you just want something quick for a small project.

  • cmake-init

    The missing CMake project initializer

  • And as always I would like to encourage you to use: https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init to create your projects :)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • crates.io

    The Rust package registry

  • Besides, the lack of accessibility and overview of package information is also a challenge. To address this, I created vcpkg.link to provide an experience closer to package managers available in other languages (e.g. npmjs.com, crates.io, pkg.go.dev).

  • conan-center-index

    Recipes for the ConanCenter repository

  • I think this is referring to the state of the art of Conan 2 years ago, before most of the community converged in the ``ConanCenter`` and the ``conan-center-index`` repo that nowadays concentrates the vast majority of the efforts (getting like around 5000 pull requests per year: https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/pulls)

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
