Using vcpkg with CMake/Meson/Xmake mostly solves the package management+ build system problem but God help you if the lib you want doesn't have a vcpkg definition or CMake file
- lanet11 4y agoxmake has its own package management repository and also supports package integration from conan/conda/brew/pacman/dub/portage/apt. Even if we don't find the package we need from vcpkg, we can still get it automatically from any other package management repository.
- IYasha 4y agoKind of yes, but as someone who started studying CMake only recently, I'm terrified of the fact that it's a metalanguage (CMakeLists) above another metalanguage (Makefile) on top of another metalanguage (command line) to compile projects in different language (C++). The amount of things CMake does under the hood is insane to me. And if you don't have a clue, at least in general, how it does its thing, you're walking thin ice...
- scrubs 4y agoAgree, totally. Rust and golang got build deps in the compiler w/o wrapping make
