1. Download the latest client application, unpack and put it to PATH.
2. (!) Run once cppan from any directory without any arguments to perform initial configuration.
3. In your CMakeLists.txt write:

find_package(CPPAN REQUIRED)
cppan_add_package(
    pvt.cppan.demo.sqlite3
    pvt.cppan.demo.fmt-4
    pvt.cppan.demo.madler.zlib-*
    pvt.cppan.demo.boost.asio-1.66
    ...
    libs you want to add
)
cppan_execute()

# near your target
add_executable(myexe ...)
target_link_libraries(myexe
  pvt.cppan.demo.sqlite3
  pvt.cppan.demo.madler.zlib
  pvt.cppan.demo.boost.asio
  ...
)

4. Perform other usual CMake steps.

Report if anything goes wrong with this workflow!

Make sure you are running the latest Visual Studio (2017), CMake.

1. VS2017 - many setups.
2. VS2017 + CMake + Ninja.
3. Clang-cl (6.0+).
4. Clang-cl + Ninja.

Cygwin poorly tested, slow builds. Mingw is not tested. Both in general should work fine. WSL works fine.

On Linux (Ubuntu and Centos) use ninja. Both of clang/gcc works fine. Make works only with single job.

Macos tested with different setups also gcc/clang/AppleClang/Xcode. Xcode and ninja uses multiple jobs. Make works only with single job.
