Regarding compilecommands.json ... I assume you intened crow packages to be portable, how would one specify macos , linux, windows compile command separatly?

Most libraries build with cmake, make etc, how does this interact?

u can type in crow.toml something like [dependencies] fmt = { git = "https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt" }. crow will clone the repo and will try to find crow.toml in it. cant find? so, crow will use wheels (from the word "wheelchair". it's like a fallback mechanisms) — if there's cmake files — CmakeWheel will be used - it will call cmake -B out_dir -S root (not exactly this command, by you get it), build static lib. and next crow will link your crow project with your non-crow dependency

unfortunately there's no os specific commands for now but i will implement them as soon as i finish writing the docs
