How do I manage external library dependency in C development environment?

On UNIX (Linux), it is solved with automake, autoconf, and libtool.

We don't send external libraries directly like maven or gradle and include them Generates a configure script that determines whether the current system and environment settings are ready to compile the project, whether an external library exists, version checks, library link options, and so on.

On other platforms, you can use CMake to achieve the same effect.

cpm.I don't know if I can use it as conveniently as 10,000 maven or gradle.
