Additional context

User configured project. Missing library is mingw-w64-i686-libwinpthread-git-9.0.0.6373.5be8fcd83-1-any.pkg.tar.zst . It was working some hours ago, the file may have been removed from the relevant server due to a "clean-up" or maintenance of old records. VCPKG possibly just needs an update to recognize newer versions of the specific library, because newer versions of the dependency do exist on the same server the compilation tool (CMake) was looking. Please fix so CMake+vcpkg do not look for any version prior to the latest available, if not already done.

The issue is duplicated for all ports that depend on libwinpthread, evidently a dependency fixed to the mingw compiler, which is called up to compile ports when building... hence the issue!

This download was updated in vcpkg in May 2023 (#29067). Now you must update.

Alright, that seems about what I would want to do. I tried the latest VCPKG cloned via GitHub and it works, that is a 2024 version. So, you are right. Presumably, it downloads and uses a newer version of MinGW. I did not confirm. There are no tools to update VCPKG in the VisualStudio install. I tried to uninstall it and reinstall using the VS installer (simulating an update, minus the 23GB it otherwise requires for a complete VS upgrade/update), and it just installed the 2023 version that I already had.

Is there a way to make the update without applying "brute force" i.e. replacing VCPKG in the VS program files folder? There always should be an "easy way", before forcing the user to make drastic manual changes. If not an update of VCPKG, maybe a clue of how to make a smaller change of updating a registry config file that tells VCPKG which version of MinGW to fetch if it will not break other dependencies (i.e. newer versions of compilers drop syntax making old files fail in compilation and needing an update to their codebase)?

[phume03]

Anyone else that happens on this, I resolved to compile the removed files for myself and replace them in the vcpkg local data folder. I hope it will work. Still fighting personal live-boot arch space issues (headache). Another solution is to update vcpkg (if you are working with a version around 2023, it will pull libwinpthread v9 and a newer version will pull the latest v10/11 which will just work).

I would hope that someone hosts an archive for the old vcpkg dependencies/tools to make things easier.
