Setup Environment

You need to install Qt libraries first. (Take Qt5 as an example)

Windows

set QT_DIR=<dir> # directory `Qt5Config.cmake` locates
set Qt5_DIR=%QT_DIR%
set VCPKG_KEEP_ENV_VARS=QT_DIR;Qt5_DIR

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
bootstrap-vcpkg.bat

vcpkg install --x-manifest-root=../scripts/vcpkg-manifest --x-install-root=./installed --triplet=x64-windows

Unix

export QT_DIR=<dir> # directory `Qt5Config.cmake` locates
export Qt5_DIR=$QT_DIR
export VCPKG_KEEP_ENV_VARS="QT_DIR;Qt5_DIR"

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh

./vcpkg install \
    --x-manifest-root=../scripts/vcpkg-manifest \
    --x-install-root=./installed \
    --triplet=<triplet>

# triplet:
#   Mac:   `x64-osx` or `arm64-osx`
#   Linux: `x64-linux` or `arm64-linux`
