Question: what is the state of thinking behind managing external dependencies in C? This project appears to just check them into source, which is pretty simple, and I am tempted to do so on my own projects. Is this the preferred method after years of not-so-popular attempts at package managers and various issues with things like CMake external sources, github submodules/subrepos or custom scripts to download source?
- frfl 4y agoOne approach some recommend is single file headers, which are self contained libraries that require nothing more than an include most of the time. Search "single file headers" for more info. Package managers (haven't tried them) and vendoring (checking into source) are the other approaches I know of.
