Description
🚀 The feature, motivation and pitch
For better integration into my projects, I would like to use an official VCPKG port. It brings the benefits of easier installation and updating of the package.
For example, some people working on a project use the library on different devices, then a quick setup of vcpkg (most times integrated into IDE, so effectivly no setup) is only needed to get the correct version. That is exactly my case and why I would like such a port.
If not wanted, please tell me. I will then close this issue.
If anyone is interested to do this, 2 steps need to be executed.
I would also create the port, though I am not experienced.
If a port is created, someone, possibly me, would have to do updates every time a new release is out.
