You have to install the dependencies and somehow tell CMake where they are. By far the easiest way to do that when you're using Visual Studio 2019 is to install them with vcpkg.

You can actually install cppgraphqlgen that way too. If you use vcpkg install --head cppgraphqlgen it should even be up to date with changes that haven't been integrated yet in the vcpkg port.

I figured it out by the following two steps:

1. install boost and other lib by vcpkg

   cd C:/Users/songy/cloud/vcpkg
   vcpkg install pegtl boost-program-options boost-filesystem rapidjson gtest 

2. using vcpkg.cmake in camkeToolchain
