Building on Windows with vcpkg

This will require more than 30GB of free space on your hard drive.

Prerequisites

Install Visual Studio with "Desktop development with C++"
Install CMake
Install git

Install vcpkg

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
.\vcpkg integrate install
.\vcpkg integrate powershell
cd ..

Configure the environment variables for vcpkg.
Check this document for more information for how to set environment variables on Windows.
- Ensure your dependencies are built as 64-bit
  e.g. setx VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET x64-windows
  See documentation about Triplets
  default is x86-windows
- Set VCPKG_ROOT to the vcpkg path
  e.g. setx VCPKG_ROOT <path to vcpkg>
  See VCPKG_ROOT documentation
- Append the vcpkg path to your path
  e.g. setx PATH "%PATH%;<path to vcpkg>"
- For more configurations, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/vcpkg/users/config-environment
You may need to restart your computer to ensure all your environment variables and what-not are loaded everywhere.
