Maven and Cradle might be terrible, but C and C++ have fucking nothing in terms of dependency management. Even C# has something that few people use, but it has something. C and C++ are such a shit show to build. It’s so bad they had to invent languages to build them and they regularly fuck up (CMake, make, bison, scons, meson, …).
Pull a C or C++ project on a distro or environment and try to build it and you have to dive in the abyss of undeclared dependencies. And good fucking luck with glibc and glib dependencies. If the dev doesn’t know which version they were actually using, it’s up to you to find out. Fun for the entire family!
What did you actually do?
