Vcpkg VS Hunter package manager

Re: C/C++ development: anybody using conda/pixi for dependency management? Here's an example of compiling a C++ SDL program using pixi and the SDL dependency from conda-forge [1]. Seems viable as a replacement for things like vckpg [2] which only builds from source. I'm still researching this but it seems like rattler [3] is the tool to use to build/publish packages. The supported repos are: prefix.dev's own... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

Plenty of raw information should be available here, the actual vcpkg repo: https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg. Source: about 1 year ago

Actually, there is: C++ Library Manager for Windows, Linux, and MacOS. Source: over 1 year ago

The installation is described in the readme of vcpkg on github and is straightforward: clone the project, execute the installation script and you are ready to go! - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

You didn't ask about this, but I think its worth mentioning Conan and vcpkg. Of the two I have found vcpkg easier to work with, but both can be good solutions. Combining one of these package managers with CMake presets can make getting a project setup on a new machine almost trivial (great for CI or onboarding new devs). Source: over 1 year 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 / over 2 years ago
