Vcpkg: Can't locate wxwidgets when trying to install

[amciffer]

I'm unable to install - see below. Was the package removed?

C:\Users\Andrew\vcpkg>.\vcpkg install wxwidgets
Computing installation plan...
Error: Cannot find definition for package wxwidgets

Try this:

1. .\vcpkg search wxwidgets - it should like this:
   SYSTEM@ANDROMEDA 04/18/2020 9:43:01 D:\Git\vs2017.prod
->vcpkg search wxwidgets
plplot[wxwidgets] plplot wxwidgets module
wxchartdir 1.0.0 wxChartDir provides components for the integration and use of the commercial C...
wxwidgets 3.1.3 wxWidgets is a widget toolkit and tools library for creating graphical user in...
If your library is not listed, please open an issue at and/or consider making a pull request:

1. If it does not list it, then try .\vcpkg search - it should show many ports to install

2. If both 1 and 2 fail, it appears the vcpkg instance may be corrupt - you will need to delete and recreate it.

Thanks – not sure why I’m having issues. When I search for wxwidgets, it doesn’t see it:

C:\Users\Andrew\vcpkg>.\vcpkg search wxwidgets
plplot[wxwidgets] plplot wxwidgets module
wxchartdir 1.0.0 wxChartDir provides components for the integration and use of the commercial C...

And a general search (vcpkg search) doesn’t show it either. I was able to install sqlite3 today.

I had wxwidgets on my machine previously, and wanted to reinstall it. I did a “remove”, so I think my machine is clean – not sure if that should matter anyway.
