While true, I think what I'd do is use vcpkg for developer management, bundle everything up into a single package and ship that via normal means (installer/relocatable zip) and maybe chocolatey depending on the tool target audience.

Anaconda would probably be better if you're already in that realm though.

vckpg looks cool, thanks for pointing to it. But it looks more like "cargo for C++" than a distro package manager.

Of course, as such, it may be a good answer to the problem of "how do I consume C third-party libraries" which was the original issue before we got into a discussion of the "use distro packages" non-solution.
