Probably because you're not using the arguments to tell cmake where vcpkg is building the dependencies, like CI does: https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/blob/837e50a3e2e3733c256b60bf9d0a8bf6d8031e83/.github/workflows/ci-main.yml#L321-L325

Do I need change this 'C:\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake' path to my vcpkg.cmake path?

[Pentarctagon]

I don't know, the expected way to use this is via Visual Studio.

I am using VS, but I can't build with it

I really need a video tutorial for this

Maybe @Vultraz can help you (I'm on Linux), but you should just need to open the repository folder in VS and click the Build button.

INSTALL.md also mentions to run vcpkg integrate install.

I just found out that I need to manually install vcpkg instead of using the vcpkg provided by VS Installer. This should resolve the find_package problem. However, I got stuck when trying to start the .exe file after the build—nothing pops up when I run the .exe file.

Run it from a terminal with --no-log-to-file and check the output.

[Vultraz]

It shouldn’t matter if you’re using built in vcpkg or not, honestly. Wesnoth doesn’t use global vcpkg packages (that method is discouraged). Instead, it builds and installs them with your wesnoth git clone. As long as wesnoth is opened in Visual Studio, it should automatically find the cmake config file and install the packages itself.

[Wedge009]

As Vultraz mentioned, the way Wesnoth is currently set-up does not depend on what you have installed for stand-alone vcpkg. I remember I had some trouble with initial set-up as well, but I think as long as cmake support is installed for Visual Studio, opening the wesnoth git tree should allow VS to find and run the cmake configuration automatically. It will build the necessary vcpkg packages by itself and then you should be able to build and run the Wesnoth components.

I don't think there is this option: 20240829 14:55:47 error server: unknown option: --no-log-to-file

I tried with a demo project, but for some reason, the built-in vcpkg didn't work well for me, whereas the manually installed one works fine.

I followed the instructions from INSTALL.md using CMake, but that was for Linux, and I'm currently using Windows. I really need a step-by-step guide for setting it up on Windows.

[ezgameworkplace]

I tried cloning and starting from the beginning. After opening the folder in VS, CMake encountered an error with find_package, and I noticed that vcpkg hadn't downloaded the dependencies yet. What should I do at this point?

I assumed you were starting wesnoth. If you start the multiplayer server wesnothd then it is expected that nothing pops up.

I guess I will try to start from the beginning by solving the find package issue

What is the status of this issue? Can it be closed as unconfirmed?
