I went to mesonbuild.org and it doesn't match the description (some sort of betting site? I didn't stick around ...), and a search turned up: https://mesonbuild.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
Came here to post the same. The answer for How to build software? is Meson[1] for C and C++ and also other languages. Works well on Windows and Mac, too. I’ve written a small Makefile to learn the basic and backgrounds. Make is fine. But the next high-level would have been Autotools, which is an intimidating and weird set of tools. Most new stuff written in C/C++ use now Meson and it feels sane. [1]... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
If you are very fortunate, you'll be able to choose something else. I like meson myself: it looks a bit like python, it's popular, small, simple, well-documented, easy to install and update, and it works well everywhere. Source: 9 months ago
I suggest changing the build tool. Meson improved C and C++ a lot: https://mesonbuild.com/ The dependency declaration and auto-detection is nice. But the hidden extra is WrapDB, built-in package management (if wanted):- Source: Hacker News / 10 months agohttps://mesonbuild.com/Wrap-dependency-system-manual.html.

Care to hear about our lord and saviour Meson? Both of your quoted problems are mutually incompatible: dependency management isn't the job of the compiler, it's a job for the build or host system. If you want to keep writing makefiles, be prepared to write... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
You forgot https://github.com/cpp-pm/hunter, which actually has more packages than Conan, but less than vcpkg. Source: over 2 years ago
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. Source: over 2 years ago
Use Hunter for dependency management https://github.com/cpp-pm/hunter There is a bit of a learning curve, but it's the only dependency manager that does things right (all from within CMake). - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
