Re: Using wxWidgets from vcpkg in XCode

Hi,

I'm not familiar with vcpkg on macOS with Xcode, but in general CMake 
will take care of creating the Xcode project and setting the correct 
compiler and linker flags. It needs the following two lines to find and 
link with wxWidgets (copied from vcpkg/ports/wxwidgets/usage):

find_package(wxWidgets CONFIG REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE wx::core wx::base)

And to make sure vcpkg is correctly initialized, I think you can check 
if the CMake variable VCPKG_TOOLCHAIN is set.
