add remote package by vcpkg fail

[liaozixin]

when i use vcpkg to get imgui like

add_requires("vcpkg::imgui[core])
target("project")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.c") 
    add_package("vcpkg::imgui")

and in main.cpp

#include<imgui.h>

it reportimgui.h no such file or directory
but imgui was downloaded and compiled successfully, i find it in vcpkg's directory

you can run xmake f find_package vcpkg::imgui and let me see the output.

and you can try add_requires("imgui") without vcpkg. see https://github.com/xmake-examples/imgui-scaffold

[liaozixin]

this is the output

{
  links = {
    "imgui"
  },
  libfiles = {
    "D:\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows-static\lib\imgui.lib"
  },
  linkdirs = {
    "D:\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows-static\lib"
  },
  includedirs = {
    "D:\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows-static\include"
  }
}

but imgui's head file is under the D:\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows-static\include

Directory: D:\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows-static\include

when i use add_includedirs("D:\\vcpkg\\installed\\x64-windows-static\\include") to my target, it compile successful.

[waruqi]

Did you add add_packages to target? let me see your xmake.lua

[waruqi]

add_requires("vcpkg::imgui[core]", {alias = "imgui"})
target("project")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.c") 
    add_packages("imgui")

[liaozixin]

oh i solve it, here is the vesion of compile error

add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")
add_requires("vcpkg::imgui[docking-experimental,core,win32-binding,dx11-binding]")

target("InkEngine")
  set_kind("binary")
  add_files("src/*.cpp")
  add_packages("vcpkg::imgui")

when i change it to

add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")
add_requires("vcpkg::imgui[docking-experimental,core,win32-binding,dx11-binding]", {alias = "imgui"})

target("InkEngine")
  set_kind("binary")
  add_files("src/*.cpp")
  add_packages("imgui")

it compile successful!
thank you very much!

[liaozixin]

if i don't config alias in add_requires and use add_packages(vcpkg::imgui), it report imgui.h no such file or directory
