Vcpkg: How do I "List" the installed libraries with a specific triplet

Created on 15 Apr 2020 · 4Comments · Source: microsoft/vcpkg

I searched the issues but could not find the answer.

The documentation does not mention it as well

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/vcpkg

Since I installed libraries for multiple triplets I would like to see a list for a specific triplet

I tried:

vcpkg --triplet x86-windows list

But it displays the packages for all triplets

zlib:x64-windows                                   1.2.11-6         A compression library
zlib:x64-windows-static                            1.2.11-6         A compression library
zlib:x86-windows                                   1.2.11-6         A compression library
zlib:x86-windows-static                            1.2.11-6         A compression library

Is this feature implemented ? If not, it would be great to have

vcpkg-feature

In the mean time you can run vcpkg list | grep x86-windows

Thanks for looking into this.

Could I propose some additional features:

Detection of missing library in a triplet
For instance, zlib, installed in x86-windows, but not found in x64-windows

zlib:x64-windows                                   1.2.11-6         A compression library
zlib:x64-windows-static                            >> Not Installed <<

_(It would be great is 'install' would detect the used triplets on a system and installs for all triplets)_

Detection of different versions
For instance zlib 1.2.11-5 in x86-windows, 1.2.11-6 in x64-windows
Minimize output
When zlib is installed in all triplets, only display

zlib:all                                             1.2.11-6         A compression library

That might be tricky since vcpkg allows for custom and now community triplets.
You'll probably never see all and the missing list will be really long.
