vcpkg-ports

Chlorie's custom vcpkg ports.

How to use

The easiest way to use my custom port registry is to enable manifest mode for your project. An example is like this:

{
    "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/vcpkg-tool/main/docs/vcpkg.schema.json",
    "name": "my-awesome-project",
    "version-string": "0.1.0",
    "dependencies": ["clu", "fmt"]
}

Then, you also need to write a vcpkg-configuration.json file referencing this repository. An example:

{
    "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/vcpkg-tool/main/docs/vcpkg-configuration.schema.json",
    "default-registry": {
        "kind": "builtin",
        "baseline": "cc97b4536ae749ec0e4f643488b600b217540fb3"
    },
    "registries": [
        {
            "kind": "git",
            "baseline": "482edae84a774f1d1994c9ce1b0e51277c0f785b",
            "repository": "https://github.com/Chlorie/vcpkg-ports",
            // You need to list all the *transitive* dependencies you need from my registry here
            "packages": ["clu"]
        }
    ]
}

Note: You need to list all the transitive dependencies from my custom registry in the packages field. For example, if you need the hikari library from my ports, since hikari depends on clu, which is also in my registry, you need to list both clu and hikari in the packages field.

Since vcpkg forces the use of exact baselines, you must fill in valid commit refs in the respective fields there (or just use the example above). To update the baselines to the latest commit, see the next part.

Updating packages

Open your favorite terminal in the project root directory, and then run

vcpkg x-update-baseline

This command will fetch the latest commit of all the registries specified in your vcpkg-configuration.json and update the refs accordingly.
