Anything else that is useful to know when adding (such as optional features the library may have that should be included)

CopperSpice is a set of individual libraries which can be used to develop cross platform software applications in C++. It is a totally open source project released under the LGPL V2.1 license and was initially derived from the Qt framework. Over the last several years CopperSpice has completely diverged, with a goal of providing a first class GUI library to unite the C++ community.

Our motivation for developing CopperSpice was to change the fundamental design and turn the existing framework into a set of libraries for C++ developers. We are accomplishing this by leveraging modern C++ functionality, new technology, and modern tooling. CopperSpice currently requires C++17 or newer.

CopperSpice is a pretty good library, hope vcpkg could absorb it.

I have a port for 1.8.2 but their code simply did not compile (https://twitter.com/Iluinrandir/status/1737238813284671772). I might retry with 1.9.1.

Authors claimed (on X/twitter) to have had contact with the vcpkg team and that the team required changes to their installation layout and license (https://twitter.com/copperspice_cpp/status/1734355938373693685 & https://twitter.com/copperspice_cpp/status/1734356034633015613). I smelled a lot of nonsense from that claim so i wanted to make a port for it since it should be simple enough if upstream supports cmake. But as it turns out upstreams code did not compile so I never finished the port (and thus did not add the required adjustments). Here are the files: portfile.cmake (requires rename from txt) vcpkg.json Feel free to adjust so that it works.
