Best way to manage dependencies with c++?

Vcpkg Hunter package manager

    • Open Source
    Https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg lets you automate the whole vcpkg setup/bootstrapping and package fetching/compiling as a CMake configuration-time task. And keep vcpkg and all packages local to your project. Using manifest mode you can as well check-in all your dependencies in version control (as mentioned by @Dragu) and get node/npm like dependency management with only one git submodule or copied .cmake file.

  2. CMake driven cross-platform package manager for C/C++.
    I'd actually say it's essentially cmake hunter because there is no non-cmake step, rather than vcpkg where you need to install vcpkg first.
