After more than 30 years, why is there is no standardized package manager for c/c++ projects to avoid build systems hell.

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/cpp

  3. conan

    Conan - The open-source C and C++ package manager

  4. premake-core

    Premake

    Premake honestly doesn't suck, and is so extendable that you can add vcpkg support to it and finally forget about CMake.

  5. conan-center-index

    Recipes for the ConanCenter repository

    It seems that you haven't following up. ConanCenter now has 1400 packages, a bit less than vcpkg, but it got like 9000 PullRequests from the community in last 2 years: https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/pulls.

  6. opencv-rust

    Rust bindings for OpenCV

    For example, this is the build script of the opencv bindings: https://github.com/twistedfall/opencv-rust/blob/master/build.rs

  7. xmake

    🔥 A cross-platform build utility based on Lua

    Maybe you missed xmake, it will be just what you need. https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake
