Hello list,
I apologize if this is slightly offtopic, but I have not yet found a
good way to manage dependencies on Windows. On Linux the dependencies
can be installed system wide, but on Windows this is typically not the
case.
I did see some CMake scripts that would download and install things
recursively, but I am not sure (badly) recreating a package manager is
a good idea. But is it the best way for now? What alternatives are
there?
As a usecase, imagine I just want to make a simple program that uses
e.g. FreeType2. I would also like to know of options where there is
either not a CMake build script, or when the library must be compiled
with MinGW.
It seems to me I should just stick to Cygwin or MSYS2.
Cheers,
