# C++ Vcpkg CMake Example
A C++ sample project that is platform and IDE agnostic made possible by using Vcpkg and CMake.
## Building and Development
### Prerequisites
- Requires `vcpkg` installed (and on PATH)
- Requires `VCPKG_ROOT` and `VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET` to be defined in environment variables
- Requires `cmake` 3.21+ installed (and on PATH)
- IDE: Visual Studio 2022 or Visual Studio Code
### Building
1. Clone the repository and make it the current working directory
2. Run `vcpkg "@./vcpkg_rf.txt"`
3. Click Build in Visual Studio or `Build: Target` in the command palette of Visual Studio Code
Tweak any step if it isn't on point.
