I'm seeing the error below: Building package zlib[core]:x86-windows... A suitable version of git was not found (required v2.17.1). Downloading portable git v2.17.1... Downloading git... WinHttpSendRequest() failed: 12002 I suspect the WinHttpSendRequest error is due to being behind a proxy - most download issues seem to be this. Or perhaps because a sys admin somewhere has disabled WinInet, somehow. I don't know. I don't know how to debug WinHttpSendRequest(); a quick google search didn't help. By printing the URL that vcpkg is trying to download, and where it's trying to download to, I can pop the URL in my browser, save it at the location specified, and move on with my life. |

Vcpkg
Overview
Vcpkg helps you manage C and C++ libraries on Windows, Linux and MacOS. This tool and ecosystem are constantly evolving; your involvement is vital to its success!
For short description of available commands, run vcpkg help.
Quick Start
Prerequisites:
- Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Linux, or MacOS
- Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 (on Windows)
- Git
- Optional: CMake 3.10.2
To get started:
> git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
> cd vcpkg
PS> .\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
Linux:~/$ ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
Then, to hook up user-wide integration, run (note: requires admin on first use)
PS> .\vcpkg integrate install
Linux:~/$ ./vcpkg integrate install
Install any packages with
PS> .\vcpkg install sdl2 curl
Linux:~/$ ./vcpkg install sdl2 curl
The best way to use installed libraries with CMake is via the toolchain file scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake. To use this file, you simply need to add it onto your CMake command line as -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=[vcpkg root]\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake.
In Visual Studio, you can create a New Project (or open an existing one). All installed libraries are immediately ready to be #include'd and used in your project without additional configuration.
For more information, see our using a package example for the specifics.
Additional notes on macOS and Linux support can be found in the official announcement.
Tab-Completion / Auto-Completion
vcpkg supports auto-completion of commands, package names, options etc. To enable tab-completion in Powershell, use
.\vcpkg integrate powershell
and restart Powershell.
Examples
See the documentation for specific walkthroughs, including using a package and adding a new package.
Our docs are now also available online at ReadTheDocs: https://vcpkg.readthedocs.io/!
See a 4 minute video demo.
