The main topic for the evening:

---

  • Mathieu Ropert The State of Package Management in C++

Package management was considered one of the hottest and crucial topics in the last 2 years. In 2017, Bjarne Stroustrup himself said this was a something we needed to solve to keep students interested in C++.
Where do we stand today, in 2019? Join me for a tour of the topic, including:

  • A look at which tools we currently have, with a focus on Conan and VCPKG
  • What challenges we still have to overcome
  • How you can make your software easier to package and reuse

Mathieu is a French C++ expert working on (somewhat) historical video games. Decided to upgrade his compiler once and has been blogging about build systems ever since. Past speaker at CppCon, Meeting C++ and ACCU. Used to run the Paris C++ User Group. Currently lives in Sweden.
