Documentation Changelog

This is a helper for finding libraries in a Vcpkg installation from cargo build scripts. It works similarly to pkg-config. It works on Windows (MSVC ABI), Linux and MacOS.

Example

Find the library named foo in a Vcpkg installation and emit cargo metadata to link it:

// build.rs
fn main() {
    vcpkg::find_package("foo").unwrap();
}

See the crate documentation for more information. See cargo-vcpkg for a convenient way of creating a vcpkg installation.
