@kszucs could you review this please? My main purpose in adding is to improve the experience for Arrow C++ devs using Windows, but I noticed it also relates to your [TODO in #9096](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/9096/files#diff-990134cce6657dbbcf95457cf1a56810a7efa1f6cd58ecc27557c7d6ff45b533R67-R68). vcpkg does not have any `requirements.txt`-style package enumeration mechanism, but it supports this JSON manifest as a mechanism of defining dependencies. In the `vcpkg install` command, you specify the path to the directory containing this manifest file with `--x-manifest-root` which later will change to `--manifest-root`. See details at https://vcpkg.readthedocs.io/en/stable/specifications/manifests/. There are some differences between the packages listed in this manifest versus the packages you listed in the `vcpkg install` commands in #9096 - This installs `gtest` and `benchmark` - This installs `boost` instead of separate `boost-filesystem`, `boost-regex`, etc. - This does not explicitly include the `core` feature of `aws-sdk-cpp` because explicitly including it causes an error, and it gets installed anyway ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
