NuGet is a package management system for MS-Windows. It is similar in spirit to tools like Maven or Gradle. It was originally for .Net only packages but it has recently been augmented to working with native packages. http://docs.nuget.org/docs/reference/support-for-native-projects The instructions for building a NuGet package can be found here: http://coapp.org/pages/tutorials.html The basic procedure is to first build all the artifacts and then run ... Write-NuGetPackage .\libzmq.autopkg The *.nuget files thus produced can then be installed in a local repository or uploaded to one of the nuget servers.
