libtcod-vcpkg-template VS roguelike.h

It doesn't teach on its own, but the libtcod-vcpkg-template can help with quickly setting up Vcpkg and libtcod in a cross-platform manner. Parts might need to be updated to work with C++20 or later. This template also creates Emscripten builds.

Hello all. I'm trying to get the libtcod example project to compile, but seem to be running into errors at every step. When I compile normally and run the binary, I get the error:

I've just checked, and Visual Studio can build/run the libtcod template. So if you setup a CMakeLists.txt to use Vcpkg then your project should run even without VSCode's CMake Tools plugin.

I'm working in C++17 and doing the ancient C++ tutorial on RogueBasin. I'm starting from the libtcod C++ template and plan on using the latest libtcod features rather than the older ones taught by that tutorial. My new repository is here.

Libtcod's Vcpkg template could work for your conditions. The tools it uses are cross-platform, using VSCode as the IDE rather than Visual Studio, but running CMake manually should work also.

I've made this template project, but I've since modified it so that I can use it to develop libtcod with, so right now it only uses Vcpkg to fetch the dependencies for libtcod and then builds libtcod from a submodule. This template is complete as-is and will compile and run if you follow the instructions.

I've updated the C++ template project to upload build artifacts (listed as automated-builds in any passing workflow.) It also automatically publishes builds as GitHub Releases when you push an annotated tag to the repository. I added one of the libtcod fonts too so that it's clear how to handle data assets in a project.

The GitHub releases don't include a Linux binary, you'll have to compile it yourself. The easiest way is to use the template project which is cross-platform.
