How to use this repository

Set the environment for using vcpkg!

I prepare Makefile to install prerequisites of ubuntu/debian and mac.

(Sorry to Windows user.. Please following this link to check prerequisites in Windows.)

Based on your OS, you can set the environment to use vcpkg by using a command below.

# Ubuntu
make prepare_ubuntu

# debian

You can also check what packages will be installed in the Makefile.

Set your vcpkg configuration

After setting the environment, you can properly use vcpkg.json file which manages configurations of vcpkg. You can browse the library what you want in this link!

Include your library!

After putting some libraries in your vcpkg.json file, please running reconfigure the CMake in vscode. While project is reconfigured, you can see the instruction how to include the library into your CMakeLists.txt like in the image below.

By following the instruction from kind vcpkg, I can use spdlog library easily in my project like the image below!
