CPM
A C++ package manager based on CMake and Git that enables linking multiple versions of static libraries without symbol conflicts.
What is CPM?
CPM is a C++ package manager that simplifies dependency management by automating the download, building, and linking of C++ modules using CMake and Git. It solves the problem of symbol conflicts when statically linking multiple versions of the same library, enabling developers to use modules with different dependency requirements in a single project.
C++ developers working on projects with complex dependencies, especially those needing to integrate multiple versions of static libraries or manage modular C++ components.
Developers choose CPM for its seamless CMake integration, ability to handle version conflicts through namespace isolation, and automated dependency resolution without requiring additional tools beyond Git.
