  3. libunifex

    Unified Executors

    Instead of calling add_executable you will call add_library. Here is a (only moderately complicated) production example of a library that can be built standalone (along with tests and example executables), or as a subproject, where it builds only the library

  4. cmake-init

    The missing CMake project initializer

    If you want something with a (mostly) Just Works experience then just use https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init

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.
