Many Vcpkg ports are not usable in ROS on Windows installation. It failed at the following errors:

The same failures can be reproducible when using the upstream Vcpkg 2020.07.

Vcpkg 2020.11 and above doesn't have this problem. Most likely we need to upgrade Vcpkg to fix this issue...

I am trying to get rtabmap and/or cartographer_ros building on windows 10. I see cartographer in the ROS share directory but can't build it from there. Manual port from github repo is going better - so will probably continue there.
