Hey everyone! It's been a little bit since our last post, so we'll detail what's happening here!

Unfortunately, we don't have a whole lot to report, but we have been readying a new release of #libmad. The last thing we have will be for source packaging via CPack as we will now start providing our own source tarballs.

Once we get libmad 0.16.5 released and in #vcpkg, we'll get going on #Tenacity 1.3.5, which will feature updated dependencies mainly. That also means we'll update our Flatpak too!

One thing I don't like about CMake is that it stores so much state in the build directory and you have to nuke it all the time to be sure it's not picking up something old/wrong. Mainly an issue while you're trying to get a build going. As vcpkg also stores built stuff in the same directory you'll be staring at loooong builds just to try to get anything to build.

#cmake #vcpkg #winduhs

Building your project and #vcpkg dependencies with your toolchain.

Because someone was wrong on the internet.

#vcpkg
No matter what any summary says, in order to build dependencies with a project toolchain file, you need a custom "triple" file that defines VCPKG_CHAINLOAD_TOOLCHAIN_FILE.

In addition, there's a `vcpkg install` invocation between your cmake and vcpkg, so you need to communicate with the triple file via environment variable, e.g. $ENV{PROJECT_VCPKG_TOOLCHAIN}

No idea what violence this does to vcpkg caching yet.

Its amazing that in C++ #cpp its practically impossible to get a decent #s3 client. The minio-cpp requires #vcpkg and the #aws sdk results in 22 GiB binary folder...

There is a small header only library but it has 0 stars and fails compilation because uint8_t is undefined.

What fun.
