C Package Manager

The best C and [insert any language here] package manager is Nix. Or rather, it should be[1]. I'm fairly confident something like it will be. If you haven't, please do try it out (or maybe don't[1], but at least read the paper[2] and let its ideas sink in). I honestly just sigh and think "yet another package manager and they still haven't learned..." whenever I see a new one now. [1]: Unfortunately documentation is famously bad, the repo that holds…

Nice, but can anything challenge the "every language gets its own unique package manager"? (And own unique build system for that matter).

That place already exists. In fact, at least two such places exist: GLib and APR. Also, this is not how C development workflow works.

I recently threw together a hello-world clib package and a project which depends on it in order to familiarize myself with how to use it: https://github.com/pepaslabs/hello.c https://github.com/pepaslabs/clib-demo-helloworld
