Moving build scripts to vcpkg ?

[smeunier-amd]

It simplifies a lot building DJV.

I did this for two versions of DJV already :

• vcpkg-2.0.8
• vcpkg-master

I can't maintain this myself and maybe it makes sense for DJV.

Here's commands for a fresh repo :

1. git submodule update --init --recursive
2. .\vcpkg\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat -disableMetrics
3. .\vcpkg\vcpkg.exe install
4. configure cmake adding -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=${workspaceFolder}/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
5. build using cmake

Hi and sorry for the delay! I'm not familiar with vcpkg, is this a replacement for CMake or a way to automate the CMake builds?

it's a package manager like apt or flatpak. Started as windows only by Microsoft, but now cross platform.

No problem for the delay ! vcpkg can help versioning, retrieving, building libraries used by cmake projects.
