Description

I need to use Detours in a project so the simplest answer is "use Detours' nuget package" - except that doesn't exist :-(

I tried adding Detours source into my project but for complicated reasons its fails and requires invasive changes to my project settings and/or structure

I could clone Detours source + makefiles and make a project whose sole purpose is to run make to build Detours' static lib for my project to consume but that's irksome (to live with as well as to setup - local builds, build pipelines, etc)

Is there a reason Detours offers no Nuget package?
