Installing vcpkg on Windows

Using vcpkg with Non-MSVC Compilers

Can I use vcpkg with other compilers like MinGW or Clang on Windows?

Abstract art representing computer programming

Yes, vcpkg supports integration with various compilers on Windows, including MinGW and Clang. To use vcpkg with a non-MSVC compiler, you need to set the appropriate triplet when installing packages.

For example, to install a package for MinGW-w64, you can use the x64-mingw-static triplet:

.\vcpkg install spdlog --triplet x64-mingw-static

Make sure to configure your build system or IDE to use the correct compiler and include paths for the installed packages.
