  • 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.

  • 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.
