Add vcpkg installation instructions #602

Closed FrankXie05 closed 1 year ago

FrankXie05 commented 1 year ago

libtomcrypt is available as a port in vcpkg, a C++ library manager that simplifies installation for libtomcrypt and other project dependencies. Documenting the install process here will help users get started by providing a single set of commands to build libtomcrypt, ready to be included in their projects.

We also test whether our library ports build in various configurations (dynamic, static) on various platforms (OSX, Linux, Windows: x86, x64) to keep a wide coverage for users.

I'm a maintainer for vcpkg, and here is what the port script looks like. We try to keep the library maintained as close as possible to the original library. 😊

Won't merge since whoever wants to use vcpkg hopefully already knows what to do. Also I'm not a fan of having install instructions for X distros/package managers.
