What Hacker News says

4 sources
It requires some digging into the project, because at first glance it doesn't seem to be a simple header-only library. There's a conanfile.py, and a CMakeLists.txt and all sorts of "junk" in the project directory. But in the end it all seems to come down to this single header file which only depends on C++ stdlib headers and which can be dropped into your own project (which seems to be generated (aka "amalgamated") from multiple smaller header files): https://github.com/p-ranav/structopt/tree/master/single_incl... So for typical C++ libraries, this seems quite straightforward to integrate. Usually when looking at a project directory full of random files like this, it's a lot more complicated.
