VcPkg: The Open Source Cross-Platform Package Manager from Microsoft
Richard Thomson gives us an informal introduction to vcpkg on both Windows and Linux.
Here's what we want from a package manager:
works identically across platforms
integrates with existing builds
easy to find packages
easy to consume packages
can use prebuilt binaries to save build time
can use local private packages as easily as public packages
works with continuous integration systems
doesn't require languages other than C/C++
How well does vcpkg fit the bill?
