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.
