1. The same way you deploy Ruby/python to your system? They are written in C and most teams have no issue getting those deployed. If your answer is that you are deploying Ruby and python using the system package manager; then the answer here is that you deploy your dependencies for your C code using your package manager. 2. cmake and autoconf will both let you list dependencies and provide error messages to tell users to install them. It won't auto-install dependencies like a package.json or tell a user where to get the dependencies, but the message that something needs to be installed can be passed to the user.
