  • cmake-init

    The missing CMake project initializer

    CMake + vcpkg (manifest mode) is a good mix. It even gives you instruction on how to properly link the library in CMake. Go with cmake-init to generate a project and you'll be good to go.

  • gui_starter_template

    Discontinued A template CMake project to get you started with C++ and tooling

    For cmake i find this useful: https://cliutils.gitlab.io/modern-cmake/ https://github.com/cpp-best-practices/gui_starter_template

  • meson

    The Meson Build System

    I would recommend against CMake and in favor of Meson. It is just much more approachable. and the documentation way better: https://mesonbuild.com/
