Like the other comment says, you need to have the dependencies already prebuilt. You can say do things like "link to these header and this library" - and the modern-er syntax makes that cleaner but you still can't do a simple "Get this dependency, build it, then link my current project to it" To me this is a very strange and frustrating limitation b/c all the necessary piece are already there! It just doesn't have the functionality to call "build it" in the middle like that for some reason. I actually ended up hacking it in (it's like 50 lines of code) but it's a bit ugly and doesn't work recursively EDIT: It's also very inconvenient to do out-of-source builds with dependencies... constant source of frustration
