Cílem je pouze CMake a povědomí o cross-platform projektech a překladu. Package manager je spíše pro informaci, navíc znáte z jiných programovacích jazyků.
Create a "CMake project" using Visual Studio. We could use with VisualStudio but instead we use command line. We run "Developer Command Prompt" to get the MS compiler to path.
We need to obtain vcpkg, it can be installed with MSVC.
# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git .
# Run the bootstrap script and disable metrics.
.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat -disableMetrics
Once ready we can start integration. Keep in mind env variables are set only for a session.
# Set paths.
set VCPKG_ROOT=C:\Programs\Vcpkg-2024.11.16
set PATH=%PATH%;%VCPKG_ROOT%
# Enable integration with build system.
# We also get information about how to run cmake projects.
vcpkg integrate install
When using Cmake we need to pass option to let it know we have vcpkg:
cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=%VCPKG_ROOT%/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
We are going to use manifest mode with sflm library.
# Initialize local manifest vcpkg.json and vcpkg-configuration.json.
vcpkg new --name my-application --version 1.0.0
# Add library : https://vcpkg.link/ports/sfml
vcpkg add port sfml
# Install libraries from manifest.
# It may take some time, libraries are installed to './vcpkg_installed/' directory.
# The "target_link_libraries(main .." must much "add_executable(main ...".
vcpkg install
Make sure that the target "main" in target_link_libraries matches target in "add_executable". See SFML tutorial "Opening and managing an SFML window" to get some code using SFML.
# Configure
cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=%VCPKG_ROOT%/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
# Build
cmake --build build
