Use cmake to install dependency libraries?

• OpenfoldersBaseProject

  3 4 6.1 CMake

  Discontinued C++ base project using modern cmake ninja multi-config, vcpkg and visual studio(if you are on windows) OpenFolders for seamless workflow. For linux, add your build preset at the bottom of CMakePresets.json

Our project utilizes vcpkg to consume all libs we require, even those that are not available on vcpkg repo via overlays. What is nice about overlays is that it allows you to add your own cmake patches to the lib you're consuming which means you can write your own cmake layer for non-cmake libs (ie. bazel based projects, we use it for tensorflowlite), this is pretty much our setup, although this example doesn't show the overlay part
