sounds like it needs CMake+vcpkg like in this example starter of mine: https://github.com/lionkor/cpp-project-template

Yup. But from my expirance cmake only becomes useful when you want to compile something on multiple os-es. I have not compiled brplot on windows or on mac. Makefile is written with linux as host os in mind.

It'd be cool to have cmake build option. So that you could create vs proj on windows, xcode proj on mac.

I don't know what to think about vcpkg.
