IMHO, it would be nice to have a vcpkg port for Gazebo. For long term, it would be easier to keep the vcpkg recipe code up-to-dated than keeping a separate documentation. :slight_smile:

Indeed (see https://github.com/j-rivero/vcpkg_ignition/issues/2 for a related issue). In the meanwhile, however, I think that it may be better to remove or update the existing tutorial.

I think that Silvio is right. We need to update the tutorial in the short term. The road is clear to the future, the use of vcpkg and the inclusion of ignition dependencies in official vcpkg is the way to go. Depending on priorities I might be working in this at some point.

Build instructions for Windows are being fixed in https://bitbucket.org/osrf/gazebo_tutorials/pull-requests/555/updated-gazebo9-build-tutorial-on-windows .
I’ve also noticed that the page http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?cat=sensors&tut=install_on_windows doesn’t exist. Is that because somebody has already deleted it because it was outdated?

Original report (archived issue) by Silvio Traversaro (Bitbucket: traversaro).
The Windows installation tutorial at http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=install_on_windows&cat=install is quite outdated, and can be confusing for users (see https://www.reddit.com/r/ROS/comments/btnndg/dead_link_for_gazebo_dependencies/).
Even if the binary distributed by ROSOnWindows’ Chocolatey may still not be perfect, perhaps it could make sense to change this tutorial to explain how to install Gazebo through those?
