awesome-c VS Vcpkg

https://github.com/oz123/awesome-c#learning-reference-and-tu...

So, let’s go through an example. Since you’re used to using C, I’d suggest looking through the awesome-C repo. From there, you might decide you’re interested in graphics, so you check out OpenGL.

Awesome C - oz123

You can find a lot of resources at oz123 / awesome-c and this [https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/c-c-tutorials-825748/](C/C++ Tutorials thread).

For example, you can use the C language with sds strings (see https://github.com/antirez/sds) if you want to have an easier time with string formatting and don't want to worry about using the famously unsafe string.h functions correctly. You'll still program in ISO C, but just not in the standard library. The same applies to pretty much all parts of the standard library, the only part unsurpassed is pretty much just printf and the math headers (math.h, fenv.h, tgmath.h, complex.h) imo, and the occasional call to exit. A good place to look for libraries if you want to go that route is the awesome-c collection: https://github.com/oz123/awesome-c

There's an awesome C list of libraries and frameworks [1]. Pick one that suits your needs.

Time and again folks say such and such isn't suitable tool to do something. While some of those admonitions are true, if you're doing something to learn, feel free to ignore those and enjoy your learning. There're folks who learn assembly even today and learn a great deal of other things than assembly and have fun too.

As for C, it'd recommend most folks know the basics since many "modern" languages totally don't teach you those, and in fact hide the details from you that things feel like magic to you eventually if you keep using these high-level languages. This is okay as long as you can know the basics and map them back when needed.

5.4.5 can be compromised

https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/37197

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.
