How could I contribute BLAKE3's cmake file for community

[25077667]

Here is my cmake file.

Would you like to add it into your supply chain?

Thanks.

@BurningEnlightenment has been doing a lot of work on the CMake build files in this repo: https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3/blob/master/c/CMakeLists.txt. I think the best way to contribute would be to open a PR with any changes you think we should make to that file.

He doesn't propose changes to the/a new buildsystem, but has written a CMake script with FetchContent which downloads and builds BLAKE3 with the current CMake buildsystem as a dependency. FetchContent is sort of a poor man's package manager replacement.

We could add some example excerpts with FetchContent to #316, but we should guide our users to pin the downloaded source archive with a SHA-2 hash, don't invoke build commands manually but use FetchContent_MakeAvailable and SOURCE_SUBDIR.

Anyways, using a proper package manager like conan or vcpkg is strongly recommended.

Hello @BurningEnlightenment , I apologize for the delayed response. I was quite busy last week.

Regarding your question, there are indeed other C++ package helpers available for managing third-party libraries. However, I would like to introduce you to an excellent package manager called CPM. You can find it at https://github.com/cpm-cmake/CPM.cmake. CPM is based on CMake and offers the advantage of being able to execute standalone. It's definitely worth exploring for your needs.
