Re: Using wxWidgets from vcpkg in XCode

In article <[email protected]> you write:

That makes your workflow more manual, but it doesn't fundamentally change
things.

vcpkg will download the dependencies, build them and install them into
vcpkg's tree when you're using it as a command-line tool,
e.g. "vcpkg install wxwidgets".

What you want to do is configure your Xcode project to pick up headers
and libraries from the install tree (not the build tree).  By default,
vcpkg will typically build both debug and release versions of
dependencies to enable you to step through dependency code in the
debugger.

On my machine, with latest vcpkg, saying 'vcpkg install wxwidgets' put
stuff in $VCPKG/installed/x64-windows with subdirectories for lib,
include, etc.

All that should be necessary is that you set the <triplet>/include
directory in your include search path and the <triplet>/lib directory
in your library search path.

For wxWidgets on Windows, <triplet>/lib folder contains release libraries
and <triplet>/debug/lib contains debug libraries.  Be aware that each
package decides for itself whether or not the debug library has a
different name than the release library (e.g. tiffd.lib on Windows for
debug and tiff.lib for release), so if you want to pick up both
configurations you'll need to manage those settings in Xcode
appropriately.
