Modern CMake Packaging: A Guide

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/cpp

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • cmake-init

    The missing CMake project initializer

  • I can agree with what I read, but you can still do better. While it doesn't exactly explain why things should be done that way, cmake-init does everything right by default https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init

  • meson

    The Meson Build System

  • As a comparative example, https://mesonbuild.com includes builtin functionality to generate a pkg-config file, with a global setting to select whether to use relocatable paths (necessary because on Linux when installed in /usr it is bad to use ${pcfiledir}/../../).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
