Vcpkg 
Overview
Vcpkg helps you get C and C++ libraries on Windows. This tool and ecosystem are currently in a preview state; your involvement is vital to its success.
For short description of available commands, run vcpkg help.
Quick Start
Prerequisites:
- Windows 10, 8.1, or 7
- Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2015 Update 3
- Git
- Optional: CMake 3.9.4
Clone this repository, then run
C:\src\vcpkg> .\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
Then, to hook up user-wide integration, run (note: requires admin on first use)
C:\src\vcpkg> .\vcpkg integrate install
Install any packages with
C:\src\vcpkg> .\vcpkg install sdl2 curl
Finally, create a New Project (or open an existing one) in Visual Studio 2017 or 2015. All installed libraries are immediately ready to be #include'd and used in your project.
For CMake projects, simply include our toolchain file. See our using a package example for the specifics.
Examples
