There is build2[1], which tries to approximate Cargo's experience for C/C++ projects while providing more depth, especially in the build system (unfortunately the "build by convention" ship has sailed for C/C++ so there needs to be some flexibility). As some indication of the project's "seriousness" (there are a lot of toy build systems out there), it builds Boost and Qt (both 5 and 6 but only classic for now).
