BELDUM C++ PACKAGE MANAGER

The Beldum Package Manager is a lightweight, user-friendly package manager for C++ projects, designed to streamline the management and integration of dependencies. It allows developers to easily install, uninstall, and manage custom libraries needed for their C++ applications, much like Cargo does for Rust. Beldum emphasizes simplicity and ease of use, enabling rapid configuration with minimal overhead.

Supported Operating Systems: Linux

Key Features

• Dependency Management: Automatically resolves and installs dependencies, handling complex dependency trees with ease.
• Local Caching and Logging: Packages are cached locally, with detailed logs stored under ~/.beldum/logs/, allowing for efficient builds and tracking.
• Centralized Package List: Maintains a list of available packages in ~/.beldum/packages/, making it easy to browse and search for dependencies.
• CMake Integration: Designed to work seamlessly with CMake, Beldum can generate necessary build configurations to integrate libraries directly into the CMake build system.

Side Note: This library only supports a few static / header libraries at this time, but it will grow as libraries are tested. If you find a package you would like added, feel free to contact the maintainer to have the library added.
