Would adding BearLibTerminal to vcpkg be OK?

[bradJM]

Hello,

Exactly what the title asks. :) I'm happy to submit the request over at the vcpkg repository myself, but thought I should clear it with you first. It would make getting started quite a bit easier for those of us already using vcpkg to manage dependencies.

Thanks!

Perfectly OK. I'd like to add the library to as much package managers as possible eventually.

The current build script might be a bit weird though (e. g. putting the artifacts inside the source files directory tree during build) because it has been written at a time I barely understood CMake. So if something would require an inconvenient workaround, let's fix that instead.

Great, thank you! I'll put the request in over at their repository and see what they come back with.

Looks like no one picked up the request, and I unfortunately don't have the bandwidth to try it myself right now. 😞 Feel free to close this if you'd like. If I get some time in the future, I'll try adding a vcpkg port myself.

It looks like it might not be terribly hard to create the goop needed for vcpkg to do its thing for BearLibTerminal (especially since BLT uses CMake), but there's a problem: the latest tag is from 2015, and vcpkg is going to want to pull the source tarball for a versioned release.
