Using the latest version of vcpkg for local installation does not reproduce the issue.

Please make sure that the component Windows SDK is installed in the Visual Studio Installer, or re-install VS build tools.

@cheditx, you need to have 'Desktop development with C++' workload installed:

I am having the same issue. I have installed every single Desktop C++ package from VS 22 installer.

Looking in the config-x64-windows-out.log file as instructed (and from what I've read in other posts) kernel32.lib is missing:

  It fails with the following output:

    ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

I have updated the repo using Git. I've got the latest everything.

As I get this same behavior for every library I want to install with vcpkg, I'm sure it isn't zlib related. But I sure wish MS could make something that worked out of the box. I've spent 3 days trying to solve this problem.

--mt=CMAKE_MT-NOTFOUND

Not yet complete.

[WangWeiLin-MV]

Please build under Developer Command Prompt or Developer PowerShell which have specific environment variables set.

Or launch in command line, for example:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat" -arch=x64 -host_arch=x64

or

& 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Common7\Tools\Launch-VsDevShell.ps1' -Arch arm64 -HostArch amd64

After then, it could be checked by the command:

cl.exe /Bv

Which will show the compiler info.
