Bug: add_deps vcpkg dependencies are not propagated to cmake packages
Xmake Version
2.9.8+HEAD.13fc39238
Operating System Version and Architecture
Windows 10 21H2 (AMD64) build 19044.5487
Describe Bug
When you add a custom package that then depends on a package in vcpkg or some other package manager repo, other than the system one, that package is not propagated downstream to CMake. That, in turn, causes the package to not be found by CMake, even though it was specified in add_deps. Attempting to explicitly set the ROOT_DIR option (e.g., PKGNAME_ROOT_DIR) with package:dep("vcpkg::pkgname"):installdir() or similar doesn't work, but instead yields a non-existent path which is created upon calling that function. I have even gone as far as force-setting the cmake_toolchain_file option, and VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET, but CMake still can't find dependencies.
Expected Behavior
Ideally, packages (regardless of how they were installed) should be found by CMake or any other build system.
Project Configuration
This snippet:
add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")
package("tgui")
set_description("Cross-platform modern c++ GUI")
set_homepage("https://tgui.eu")
set_license("zlib")
add_urls("https://github.com/texus/TGUI.git")
add_versions("1.7.0", "6d76a435fb649e0dc597c320a29d7f00f2525f32")
add_deps("vcpkg::sdl3", "vcpkg::sdl3-ttf", "cmake")
on_install(function(package)
import("detect.sdks.find_vcpkgdir")
local configs = {}
table.insert(configs, "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=" .. (package:debug() and "Debug" or "Release"))
table.insert(configs, "-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=" .. (package:config("shared") and "ON" or "OFF"))
table.insert(configs, "-DTGUI_BACKEND=SDL_RENDERER")
table.insert(configs, "-DTGUI_CXX_STANDARD=20")
import("package.tools.cmake").install(package, configs)
end)
package_end()
Should work when you:
add_requires("tgui")
...
add_packages("tgui")
But it does not

For SDL3, set SDL3_DIR to the directory containing either SDL3Config.cmake or sdl3-config.cmake
For SDL2, set SDL2_DIR to the directory containing either SDL2Config.cmake or sdl2-config.cmake if such files exist
For SDL2 < 2.24 on Windows or macOS, for SDL files downloaded from github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases, set SDL2_PATH to the folder containing the 'include' and 'lib' directories, or the SDL2.framework file.

It is not supported. Only packages in the xmake-repo repository configured in add_deps can be found by cmake. And there is also a certain failure rate.
