Vcpkg: How to make a 64bit build of some cmake project?

[fferri]

I have some cmake project using some 3rd party library (available as a vcpkg package), say zeromq.

I installed the x64 version of it (vcpkg install zeromq:x64-windows), and if I go to build my project, it complains about zeromq not available:

C:\Development\myproject\build> cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake ..

CMake Error at C:/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake:247 (_find_package):
  Could not find a configuration file for package "ZeroMQ" that is compatible
  with requested version "".

  The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

    C:/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows/share/zeromq/ZeroMQConfig.cmake, version: 4.3.1 (64bit)

So I tryed to specify the VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET, but I get this result:

C:\Development\myproject\build> cmake -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake ..

What is the proper way to build a project in 64 bit mode via cmake?

Not a vcpkg issue and this is also not stackoverflow.

If you do not now how to use cmake correctly I urge you to read the manual/docs and simply pass the correct generator ( -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" ) or use the gui of cmake where a list of generators is displayed. Also a search in the web should have answered your question.

So please close this issue.
