Can't find package when installing using vcpkg

[RichardB01]

Hi, when i install tmxlite through vcpkg, for some reason, cmake doesn't locate its package.

Here is the vcpkg installation logs...

The CMakeLists.txt contains this...

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.23)
project(testapp CXX)

set(CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET "12.0")
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)

file(GLOB_RECURSE SRC ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/src/*.cpp)
file(GLOB_RECURSE HDR ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/src/*.h)

add_executable(testapp ${SRC} ${HDR})

find_package(tmxlite REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(testapp PRIVATE ${TMXLITE_LIBRARIES})

And the following is the cmake errors when i try to generate project files...

CMake Error at /Users/x/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake:833 (_find_package):
By not providing "Findtmxlite.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "tmxlite", but
CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "tmxlite" with any
of the following names:

tmxliteConfig.cmake
tmxlite-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "tmxlite" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"tmxlite_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"tmxlite" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
been installed.

Hi,
I wasn't aware tmxlite was available via vcpkg! 😁 However, the problem may lie in your cmake file - try adding something like

set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../cmake/modules/")

near the top, and set the path to point to the directory containing FindTMXLITE.cmake. This assumes of course that the FindTMXLITE.cmake file knows where to search for vcpkg installs. If not you'll either need to modify it, or build/install tmxlite first yourself, using the included cmake file. This will install the library somewhere that the module file knows about.
