  • C++ Format

    A modern formatting library

  • It only really provides a simple source build method with CMake (see: https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt). You can certainly try to figure out how decode all those steps into discrete compiler flags/commands/build tasks/etc., but it's definitely not trivial or beginner friendly.

  • cmake-examples

    Useful CMake Examples

  • 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.

  • conan

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

  • When you have mastered the basics of CMake (which is really just creating a file with 3-4 lines of CMake code), then it's also easy to use a package manager like Conan or vcpkg to install libraries
