Vcpkg: Building package openssl-windows:x64-windows failed with: BUILD_FAILED

[TorlanDelta]

Hello. I just installed vcpkg and got an error. I have win8.1 with new-ish updates installed, ru-ru locale. Installed english visual studio english package when prompted to. Using VS 2017 Community.

It may be relevant that I got

Error: failed to copy targets file to C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.C
pp\v4.0\V140\ImportBefore\Default\vcpkg.system.props

when trying to do .\vcpkg integrate install, which I manually fixed by creating a vcpkg.system.props folder in the correct path. Am I genius or what?

The issue is that when I try to run a command .\vcpkg.exe install openssl:x64-windows openssl:x86-windows zlib:x64-windows zlib:x86-windows, i get this error, the relevant portion of which is:

CMake Error at scripts/cmake/vcpkg_copy_pdbs.cmake:62 (file):
  file COPY cannot find
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  ports/openssl-windows/portfile.cmake:154 (vcpkg_copy_pdbs)
  scripts/ports.cmake:71 (include)

Am I doing stuff wrong? Thanks for your time <3

@TorlanDelta ... by creating a vcpkg.system.props folder in the correct path.

vcpkg.system.props is the file, not a folder.

<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <!-- version 1 -->
  <PropertyGroup>
    <VCLibPackagePath Condition="'$(VCLibPackagePath)' == ''">$(LOCALAPPDATA)\vcpkg\vcpkg.user</VCLibPackagePath>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <Import Condition="'$(VCLibPackagePath)' != '' and Exists('$(VCLibPackagePath).targets')" Project="$(VCLibPackagePath).targets" />
</Project>

@TorlanDelta Am I genius or what?

Not yet.

There is most probably a problem with your rights to writing in that folder, run the vcpkg integrate install command from an elevated command-prompt.

[TorlanDelta]

@degski So I deleted my created vcpkg.system.props folder, tried to run .\vcpkg integrate install again and got same error again, doing it from administrative command line. D:

Below is console dump BEFORE deleting my vcpkg.system props folder:

C:\Users\Георгий\Documents\Node.JS\MyCleverProgram\vcpkg>.\vcpkg integrate install
Applied user-wide integration for this vcpkg root.

All MSBuild C++ projects can now #include any installed libraries.
Linking will be handled automatically.
Installing new libraries will make them instantly available.

CMake projects should use: "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/Users/Aai?aee/Documents/No
de.JS/MyCleverProgram/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"

and AFTER the deletion:

C:\Users\Георгий\Documents\Node.JS\MyCleverProgram\vcpkg>.\vcpkg integrate install
Error: failed to copy targets file to C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.C
pp\v4.0\V140\ImportBefore\Default\vcpkg.system.props

what to do D:

[Voskrese]

C:\Users\Георгий
CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE -- C:/Users/Aai?aee/

с кодировкой что то еще

[TorlanDelta]

@Voskrese maybe it is encoding, but what can I do to fix it?

I've located this solution - https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/issues/1548 - but running chcp 65001 makes my cmd.exe stop working apparently - it says "the system cannot write to this device*. Weird.

[Voskrese]

@TorlanDelta на счет кодировки это к слову, а не устанавливается потому что не может найти файл, который видимо не сформировался
ports/openssl-windows/portfile.cmake:154 (vcpkg_copy_pdbs) - openssl-windows... . ..pdb

на счет vcpkg.system.props
у вас стоит MSVC 2017 = 141150, а смотрите в каталог MSVC 2015 = 140

MSBuildMicrosoft.Cppv4.0V140

I got this same error due to having Clink autorun installed. Fix by running clink autorun uninstall. At least temporarily.

[NancyLi1013]

Hi all, thanks for posting this issue. This port has been updated to 1.0.2q and I can't reproduce it on my machine now with VS 2017. Please feel free to reopen it if this is still a problem for you.

[trade-commander1]

I run into the same issue. I could solve the problem by making 2commands:
REM 64 bit
.vcpkg.exe install openssl:x64-windows zlib:x64-windows
REM 32 bit
REM .vcpkg.exe install openssl zlib:x86-windows
