About:
vcpkg is a cross-platform C++ library manager that simplifies acquiring and building open-source libraries. It helps developers manage dependencies and build configurations with a unified command-line interface. The tool integrates with CMake to provide a seamless workflow for C++ development.
|
Key Features:
- Cross-platform package management for C++
- Integration with CMake build system
- Large catalog of available libraries
- Custom portfile support for private libraries
|
Use Cases:
- Managing C++ third-party dependencies in projects
- Building open-source libraries from source
- Creating reproducible C++ build environments
|
Alternatives:
-
Conan
– Conan is a Python-based alternative with more flexible dependency resolution but steeper learning curve
-
Hunter
– Hunter is CMake-based but requires more CMake integration code compared to vcpkg's standalone approach
