Vcpkg Libraries not detected by Visual Studio 2019 Community edition

Question

Hello,

I'm been using the spdlog:x86-windows library installed via vcpkg and it was working in VS2019 CE. However, I tried adding my solution to source control via git and since then the headers

#include <spdlog/spdlog.h>
#include <spdlog/sinks/rotating_file_sink.h>

are no longer recognised. I've tried reinstalling the packages via vcpkg, reintegrating vcpkg and also followed the instructions here (vcpkg-libraries-not-detected-by-visual-studio-2019-community-edition) but still no luck.

How can I get VS2019 CE to recognise these packages, please?

Thanks in advance.

Hi zibers,

You can try to download and install static library: vcpkg install spdlog:x86-windows-static

Best Regards,

I fixed this by recreating a different solution and it worked afterwards.
