  • CPython

    The Python programming language

    • So I wanted to test this out with Python, as I want to embed Python to allow support for scripting in my app. However, as you can see in the Readme here, the build process for Windows and MacOS is a bit different (Mac involves running Make, while Windows just runs a bat file). Neither are complicated, but I originally assumed that the process would be basically the same, and I could use a CMakeLists that wasn't platform specific.

  • conan

    Conan - The open-source C and C++ package manager

    • You could check Conan and Vcpkg, they can be used to provide your dependencies for all three major platform (but I think only as pre-build binaries). Or you could embed the installers of your dependencies in your own.

  • 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.
