OpenfoldersBaseProject VS Vcpkg

*Makes angry noises about cmake presets(shamelessplug)*

Our project utilizes vcpkg to consume all libs we require, even those that are not available on vcpkg repo via overlays. What is nice about overlays is that it allows you to add your own cmake patches to the lib you're consuming which means you can write your own cmake layer for non-cmake libs (ie. bazel based projects, we use it for tensorflowlite), this is pretty much our setup, although this example doesn't show the overlay part

5.4.5 can be compromised

vcpkg may expire assets after 1.5 years, so achieve long-term reproducibility you will need to cache your dependencies.... Somewhere. Not sure what the expected solution is.

There were various approaches recommended depending on our language and ecosystem. My classmates who developed using Node.js were recommended npm, and PyPI or poetry for Python. Since my program is written in C++, I was recommended to look into one of vcpkg or conan, but I ultimately did not use either package manager.

Which dependencies are not in vcpkg? We can ask them to add it. It’s pretty easy just open an issue there https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues .

The hyperscan update to vcpkg seems to have happened from 5.4.0 to 5.4.2 in this commit on Apr 20.

Dear Fictrac team, I am hoping to install Fictrac in our windows 11 x64 laptop (Visual Studio 2019, cMake 3.26.4). I followed the installation guideline on github page fictrac and used the latest vcpkg

This works fine if one wants to do stuff like clang main.cpp -lvulkan, or even find_package(Vulkan REQUIRED) in CMake, but it doesn't define VULKAN_SDK, and therefore doesn't work with vcpkg's Vulkan support, for instance. A fair bit of Vulkan development, tutorials, etc. assume that the entire SDK is installed, as-is.
