CMake and the Future of C++ Package Management

• CPM.cmake

  8 2,276 0.0 CMake

  📦 CMake's missing package manager. A small CMake script for setup-free, cross-platform, reproducible dependency management.

  

  I haven't tried boost through CPM, but in the wiki there is an example: https://github.com/TheLartians/CPM.cmake/wiki/More-Snippets#boost-via-boost-cmake so it seems that it can

• Vcpkg

  29 20,268 9.9 CMake

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

  

  It doesn't support versions. I live at head so I don't care about that, I want the latest version available. No idea about Windows Server Core Docker, I don't use it but according to the bug tracker the person who complained about that actually just had a failed installation. I use vcpkg in manifest mode + cmake with github's actions and don't have issues with it being any slower than it would normally be building my dependencies the first time. The trick is to treat dependencies as artifacts to be cached, an option most CI services have and a pretty common strategy for CI in general.

• Moby

  51 67,002 9.9 Go

  The Moby Project - a collaborative project for the container ecosystem to assemble container-based systems

  

  Sadly yes. Here's the relevant github issue for Docker (and I get the impression that it is Docker's fault rather than vcpkg's) and it seems to have got basically no attention.

• boost-cmake

  0 379 0.0 CMake

  Easy Boost integration in CMake projects

  I published this later to achieve the same thing: https://github.com/Orphis/boost-cmake (though I lack time to upgrade it to recent versions now...).
