## Limitations
- **No pre-built binaries** For every new build directory, all dependencies are initially downloaded and built from scratch. To avoid extra downloads it is recommend to set the [`CPM_SOURCE_CACHE`](#CPM_SOURCE_CACHE) environmental variable. Using a caching compiler such as [ccahe](https://github.com/TheLartians/Ccache.cmake) can drastically reduce build time.
- **Dependent on good CMakeLists** Many libraries do not have CMakeLists that work well for subprojects. Luckily this is slowly changing, however, until then, some manual configuration may be required (see the snippets [below](#snippets) for examples). For best practices on preparing projects for CPM, see the [wiki](https://github.com/TheLartians/CPM.cmake/wiki/Preparing-projects-for-CPM).

- **First version used** In diamond-shaped dependency graphs (e.g. `A` depends on `C`@1.1 and `B`, which itself depends on `C`@1.2 the first added dependency will be used (in this case `C`@1.1). In this case, B requires a newer version of `C` than `A`, so CPM will emit a warning. This can be resolved by adding a new version of the dependency in the outermost project.
For projects with more complex needs and where an extra setup step doesn't matter, it may be worth to check out an external C++ package manager such as [vcpkg](https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg), [conan](https://conan.io) or [hunter](https://github.com/ruslo/hunter).
