I'm stumped. I'm currently getting an error from visual studio:
Error could not open 'C:\Users\username\github\Microsoft\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\lib\*.lib': invalid argument jconsole_vs2019_clang C:\Users\username\jsoftware\jsource\makevs\jconsole\lld-link 1 And it is indeed the case that there's no single file named '*.lib' in that directory. But there is a file named gmp.lib in that directory. What's even stranger is that I don't know why visual studio should care about the presence or absence of such files. In the property pages for the visual studio "solution", under vcpkg, I had configured the "triplet" to be x64-windows, but I have "Use Static Libraries" set to "No", and as far as I know the .lib files are static libraries. So... I've got a file not found error blocking my attempts to build with visual studio which (while perhaps technically correct) makes no sense to me. -- Raul On Sat, Oct 22, 2022 at 12:11 PM Raul Miller <rauldmil...@gmail.com> wrote: > > The approach I am currently pursuing uses vcpkg > > https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg > > In other words: > > git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg --depth=1 > cd vcpkg > cmd /c bootstrap-vcpkg.bat > > This creates vcpkg.exe in that directory, then: > > vcpkg install gmp --triplet=x64-windows > > This is slow, and I'm waiting for it to finish to determine if it > produces a suitable result.
