add to vcpkg

[josuegomes]

vcpkg is the package manager from Microsoft for Visual Studio. Please consider adding restc-cpp to vcpkg. Its dependencies (boost, openssl, rapidjson, zlib) are already there. Also restc-cpp build is CMake based. It should be straightforward to add it.

I was not aware of vcpkg. I'll check it out and see what it takes to add it.

When will it be added to vcpkg?

I too would very much like to see restc-cpp added to vcpkg. It would help beginners like myself a great deal.

Hi all, I initiated a request for adding restc-cpp into vcpkg, as I need this library in a project that I'm porting into windows.

If you have anything to add or improve, feel free to post a comment there, thanks.

Thanks @lejcik . I'm actually using vcpkg for the Windows build / testing of restc.

Please, close this issue and update the docs mentioning the vcpkg. This is such a great project and using it with vcpkg makes our lifea lot easier.

Thanks lejcik for adding to vcpkg and jgaa for the lib
