+# Notes

+

+## Making a release

+

+1. run vcpkg_cli and test it

+1. run systest\test.cmd

+1. check that everything is committed and work dir is clean

+1. push to master on github

+1. check that github actions ci passes

+1. update changelog, commit and push

+1. update version number in Cargo.toml for the crate to be released

+1. commit

+1. push

+1. wait for the ci to work

+1. create a tag for the right crate like `git tag vcpkg-rs-0.2.3`

+1. cd to the crate dir and run `cargo publish`

+1. git push origin --tags

+

+## Possible future features

+

+- hide or deprecate or note that the lib_name api is not as good as find_package

+

+- make sure the find_package api is first in the docs and mention that it's the best option

+

+- allow specifying a triple to use using an environment variable. this will allow setting up a custom "x64-rust-static" triple that dynamically links to msvcrt, allowing static builds with the default rust.

+

+- add information about target triples and target triple selection being driven by RUSTFLAGS=-Ctarget-feature=+crt-static

+

+- add a note that even rust debug builds are linked against the release version

+  of built libraries

+

+- there is a lib\no_auto_link folder that some packages generate that needs

+  to be added to the link line. this will require finding an example of

+  a library that uses that feature. (boost?)

+

+- vcpkg_cli: make probe failure return a nonzero exit code so the build fails

+

+- remove crate doc info about the libname -> package mapping. (why?)

+

+- look into the possibility of using dotenv to allow setting VCPKG_ROOT

+

+- could run vcpkg and parse it's output to determine what package versions are installed.

+

+- could parse vcpkg's installed files list to guess at the names for libraries and dlls rather than requiring them to be specified.

+

+- could parse vcpkg's installed packages list to determine what other packages we need to link against.

+

+- vcpkg has common include and lib dirs so there is a chance that someone is going to end up picking up a vcpkg lib on their link line in preference to some other version at some point. I believe cmake handles this by using absolute paths for libs wherever possible. if everything below you in the dependency tree is looking in vcpkg then everything will agree.

+

+- vcpkg has a per-package output dir that looks like it would be helpful, but at present it is undocumented and subject to change. (what I read mentioned the possibility of compressing the contents.)

+

+- warn if you use something that looks like a vcpkg triplet in place of a rust triple

+

+- allow specifying of the library to be installed like pkg-config does. (hard in general because there is no specific format for version numbers )

+

+- allow stipulating that a specific feature be installed. at present if a feature is installed any extra libraries it requires will be linked as expected. how should this be? The vcpkg way is to specify it as harfbuzz[graphite2,icu] for example.

+

+- report enabled/available features in the Library returned from find_package

+

+- get information about installed packages by running the vcpkg executable

+

+  - if using json to encode the information, this requires writing a json parser or adding a dependency on serde for anything that transitively depends on vcpkg, which is a lot of stuff, probably only a tiny percentage of which actually uses the vcpkg functionality. otherwise, could invent yet another easy-to-parse custom format.

+  - vcpkg is now available on linux and macos also. a possible use is to build the whole bag of windows dependencies on a windows machine at the point that lld can cross link windows/msvc code.

+

+- add a changelog for vcpkg_cli

+

+- make the breaking change of dropping Rust 1.10 (actually 1.12) compatibility when updating to 0.3

+

+- vcpkg_cli should say if there are other versions of the ports available that do not match what is being looked for

+

+- add some commentary describing the vcpkg target triplets on windows - static vs dynamic crt and the fact that rust prefers something in between - dynamic crt, static libs on top of that.

+

+- vcpkg now has a community supported triplet called x64-windows-static-md which is a match for the default Rust build type on windows - dynamic linking to the c runtime, and static linking to other libraries.

+## Creating empty files from list files

+

+```sh

+touch `grep -h \.lib$ vcpkg/info/*x86* | grep -v debug `

+touch `grep -h \.dll$ vcpkg/info/*x86* | grep -v debug `

+```
