Vcpkg: VS2019 glbinding hangs at Building x64 windows rel

[ghost]

install-x64-windows-dbg-out.log
install-x64-windows-rel-out.log
config-x64-windows-out.log

As subject states, in VS2019 Community v16.1.2 hangs at step Building x64-windows-rel

• in taskmanager 2 link.exe, 6 MSBuild.exe, a tracker.exe and a vctip.exe are running but not receiving any CPU, Read/Write/Other I/O's - I have let this run for hours overnight before I control-c the vcpkg running within an "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019" cmd prompt as an administrator.

I don't believe it is a loop, as no I/O or CPU time is being used and my system stays about 84% idle in about 2 minutes once reaching this step, maybe something is not signaling the tracker.exe to let MSBuild, link and vctip to continue on with the next task???? Just an educated guess.

Note: the VS2017 Enterprise v15.9.12 takes a couple hours to complete the same task, but does complete and the formentioned taskmanager exe's get CPU time and perform actual I/O's, which ultimately installs glbinding properly.

Attached files which may aid in troubleshooting or recognizing the problem.

Thank you and have a wonderful day.

I met the same problem, but I don't know how to solve it. Good luck.

Try deleting the buildtrees/glbinding folder along with any other built trees touched by a VS2017 build and try again.

vcpkg build trees tend to be reused unless they are removed.
Something might be stale there.

If it's happening on a clean pull of vcpkg, then here is the offending port: https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/tree/master/ports/glbinding
and the port file is here:
https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports/glbinding/portfile.cmake

The VS2017 compiles fine, just takes a while, it is using VS2019 that seems to hang up, runs overnight and stops using any computer resources, no CPU, no I/Os, no memory after about 2 hours, basically it appears to just stop with the aforementioned programs still in task manager not doing anything.
This can be on an existing vcpkg or a completely clean pull built with VS2019.

I have the same problem:
when I use it in power shell ,it hangs here over 3 hours.
the command as follow:
PS C:\Users\wadereye> vcpkg install osg:x64-windows sqlite3:x64-windows protobuf:x64-windows poco:x64-windows
The following packages are already installed:
sqlite3[core]:x64-windows

For me it appears this issue has been corrected - I'm now on Windows Pro Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.476) and VS 2019 v16.3.9 and it builds flawlessly now - I believe this issue is resolved!

x64-windows-rel/x86-windows-rel still hangs for 6-10 minutes, I would not say that it's been fully resolved.

Compared to never completing as it was in the past on my machine, 6 to 7 minutes is fixed. Especially when other packages like the opencv with all options, ffmpeg with all options and a few others take well over 30 minutes to close to an hour to complete the compile, link and install.
