Why would a Linux package manager support Windows which has its own very different package format? I can't ever recall installing a Windows package that decided it would go and download some other dependencies - or at least not transparently. The two are vastly different beasts.

That's why I think C and C++ need a OS-agnostic package manager.

Yes, that’s the point :)

People who are suggesting a debian specific package manager to fetch C/C++ dependency issues are missing the full picture
