Using vcpkg with Non-MSVC Compilers

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

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.
