Also there should be a note somewhere here on the aur page for that vcpkg group that I have to be in to use vcpkg without sudo because otherwise people will just use it with sudo which is not advised.

I think having the LICENSE.txt in VCPKG_ROOT_DIR /opt/vcpkg should be necessary as some ports in vcpkg for some reason do something for that file and the package installation would fail because the file is not there.

https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports/vcpkg-cmake/portfile.cmake#L13

Package example: cppkafka, you can't install it without that file being in /opt/vcpkg

@th3r00t Sorry I didn't respond for so long. The LICENSE file resides in /usr/share/licences/vcpkg. Just like with many other packages

The package appears to be missing the LICENSE.txt file that should reside /opt/vcpkg/ I just copied the one from the github repo, but i suspect any file named LICENSE.txt might do.

@void09 Well, that means it's working fine. Ok, I think we'll get another monthly update for vcpkg in a few days and then I'll add aarch64.

@pacifi5t not exactly sure what working perfectly fine means for this package, as I don't use it, just needed it as a dependency to build rustdesk I had to "export VCPKG_FORCE_SYSTEM_BINARIES=1" before installing packages with it. vcpkg install 7zip worked It says this though: "-- Using community triplet arm64-linux. This triplet configuration is not guaranteed to succeed."

@void09 Thank you for you comment. Does it work perfectly fine?

There were some discussion about adding arm64-linux triplet in this issue: https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/issues/3647 It is maintained by the community and I can't test it myself, so I didn't add aarch64 arch.

This compiled without errors on aarch64 (manjaro linux on rpi4), can add it to the list of archs.
