    Mirror of CMake upstream repository

    Looking at https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blob/master/Modules/FindLua51.cmake it's clear that it's pretty much garbage and absolutely not modern. It doesn't provide any LUA_LIBARY_PATH or something with the search directory for the lua library, the hints for where it looks for lua is also almost useless (it does look in an environment variable LUA_DIR, so you can try to set that). The newer version FindLua.cmake is not much better.

  • cmake-init

    The missing CMake project initializer

    You can also use cmake-init to help you.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • lua

    The Lua development repository, as seen by the Lua team. Mirrored irregularly. Please DO NOT send pull requests. Report issues in the Lua mailing list https://www.lua.org/lua-l.html (by aerospike)

    Lua also maintains there own version which is equally old.

  • libcurl

    A command line tool and library for transferring data with URL syntax, supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, GOPHERS, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, MQTT, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTMPS, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET, TFTP, WS and WSS. libcurl offers a myriad of powerful features

    Yes, there are always some retards around, unfortunately. However looking at the CMakeLists.txt for libcurl it doesn't look too bad.

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.
