C++ libraries are impossible to install

• Vcpkg

  146 21,500 10.0 CMake

  C++ Library Manager for Windows, Linux, and MacOS

  

But vcpkg does seem so much simpler to package for or use. Someone packaged my library for vcpkg and I am looking at the files and it's a few declarative lines https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/tree/master/ports/daw-json-link in a couple files. On the other hand, going through the conan manual https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/creating_packages/getting_started.html#creating-the-package-recipe and it looks like I am repeating the whole cmake infra that I have in python. Even the document to add vcpkg, https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/docs/examples/packaging-github-repos.md , Allows for a cmake happy path.

• cmake-init-conan-example

  12 15 5.7 CMake

  cmake-init generated executable project with Conan integration

Seamless integration without any hardcoded details is certainly possible, but not quite as out of the box as vcpkg.

• cmake-init-vcpkg-example

  19 8 4.7 CMake

  cmake-init generated executable project with vcpkg integration

vcpkg is capable of pulling the dependency from any arbitrary source, e.g. git repositories. This makes using a library easier if you don't need to submit it to any package repositories.

And of course all the linuxery things work as fast on Windows? Maybe those guys are also saying sh*t https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2305?
