Hunter is a CMake-based cross-platform package manager for C/C++ projects that downloads and builds dependencies with CMake. This original repository (ruslo/hunter) is closed for contributions and development has moved to the cpp-pm/hunter fork.

Use cases

  • manage c++ dependencies with cmake
  • cross-platform c++ package manager
  • build third-party libraries reproducibly in cmake
  • vendor dependencies without system package managers
  • pin exact versions of c++ libraries

When to choose

  • you maintain a legacy CMake project already using Hunter
  • you want CMake-driven dependency resolution without system packages

When to avoid

  • you are starting a new C++ project - use the maintained cpp-pm/hunter fork or alternatives like vcpkg or Conan
  • you need active support or new package recipes
  • you do not use CMake for your build
