Thanks a lot, Guillaume, I didn't know about these tools, it's the first time I hear of hunter and conan.
Thinking twice, I think that what I need is something similar to BSD ports, or MacPorts, but with the difference that I don't want to patch anything, just install and build the source as is, and in a multi build environment. It seems that both hunter and conan seem to be similar to BSD ports in nature, so I'll look at them. If anybody has further suggestions, please don't hesitate to tell. Thanks!
