Vcpkg

Overview

Vcpkg helps you get C and C++ libraries on Windows. This tool and ecosystem are currently in a preview state; your involvement is vital to its success.

For short description of available commands, run vcpkg help.

Quick Start

Prerequisites:

  • Windows 10, 8.1, or 7
  • Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2015 Update 3
  • Git
  • Optional: CMake 3.8.0

Clone this repository, then run

C:\src\vcpkg> .\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat

Then, to hook up user-wide integration, run (note: requires admin on first use)

C:\src\vcpkg> .\vcpkg integrate install

Install any packages with

C:\src\vcpkg> .\vcpkg install sdl2 curl

Finally, create a New Project (or open an existing one) in Visual Studio 2017 or 2015. All installed libraries are immediately ready to be #include'd and used in your project.

For CMake projects, simply include our toolchain file. See our using a package example for the specifics.

Examples

See the documentation for specific walkthroughs, including using a package and adding a new package.

See a 4 minute video demo.
