Speaking of which, is there any good package management system for modern C/C++?

Conan is the most promising one, they just released a new version:

Arne Mertz has a Vagrant box for people who want to experiment with a "4C" development environment (Clang, Cmake, Conan, Clion).

I've had biicode recommended to me (https://github.com/biicode/biicode), but I haven't tried it yet.

EDIT: Also worth noting that a common response I've heard to "I need a better manager for my dependencies" is "you have a system package manager for a reason."

What do they say when you reply "Windows"?

[dikaiosune]

I think it goes without saying that those with that sort of response tend not to use Windows, and also often seem to assume that a perfectly in-order Linux/Unix install is the only way to build software.

And also that you're fine with creating a package for any dependency that doesn't have one.

[dikaiosune]

Creating, maintaining, shepherding through distro processes, etc. All so you can then eventually build your own code.

Conan seems to have appeared recently but I haven't yet tried it myself. https://www.conan.io/

Even if it doesn't has too much support, I highly recommend fips: https://github.com/floooh/fips

I have been using it, adding some libs and even contributing some changes. You should really give it a try!

The Meson build system http://mesonbuild.com/ seems to have a package manager like dependency management system.

It's also very quick and easy to get projects up and running.

For *nix based platforms Meson is now my go to build manager for c++ projects.
