  • poost

  • cmake_templates

    Concise CMake templates for creating C++ libraries or executables.

    If you don't want to write almost the same CMakeLists.txt for every new project, why not just create a template? Or just use mine github.com/acdemiralp/cmake_templates . Much easier than creating your own .yml dialect.

  • cmkr

    Modern build system based on CMake and TOML.

    Been using https://cmkr.build/ for a while now, its great and also declarative.

  • cmake-init

    The missing CMake project initializer

    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.

  • meson

    The Meson Build System

    Other people going down this route seem to end up writing cmake replacements instead. I'm thinking of something like meson here except that meson never intended to transpile to cmake.
