[kangaru] I'm trying to update my port and add a new feature (enabled by default) but results in Unknown CMake command "vcpkg_cmake_configure"

[gracicot]

Hi there, I'm having a weird error where when calling the vcpkg_check_features command, then the vcpkg_cmake_configure stops working. I don't know what I'm doing wrong here.

Here's my new port file that fails:

vcpkg_from_github(
    OUT_SOURCE_PATH SOURCE_PATH
    REPO gracicot/kangaru
    REF v4.3.1
    SHA512 5c1c6081b266089ad4ef310f4782505db5c514adce87091dd8164a6da71fc7ef72c0992c32e9ec3c991aa7a2ca43f1d96f2f524c7198bf899876af214fea28f3
    HEAD_REF master
)

vcpkg_check_features(OUT_FEATURE_OPTIONS KANGARU_FEATURES
    INVERTED_FEATURES
        oldtypeid KANGARU_HASH_TYPE_ID
)

vcpkg_cmake_configure(
    SOURCE_PATH "${SOURCE_PATH}"
    OPTIONS
        -DKANGARU_EXPORT=OFF
        -DKANGARU_TEST=OFF
        -DKANGARU_REVERSE_DESTRUCTION=ON
        ${KANGARU_FEATURES}
)

vcpkg_cmake_install()

vcpkg_cmake_config_fixup(CONFIG_PATH lib/cmake/kangaru)

file(REMOVE_RECURSE
    "${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}/lib"
    "${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}/debug"
)

# Put the license file where vcpkg expects it
file(INSTALL "${SOURCE_PATH}/LICENSE" DESTINATION "${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}/share/${PORT}" RENAME copyright)

Then, my port suddenly fails:

What does it means? Why would the vcpkg_cmake_configure command stop existing if I'm adding a feature? Thanks for the help.

@gracicot, you need add port 'vcpkg-cmake' as dependency to vcpkg.json, which provides the function.

eg: https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports/zydis/vcpkg.json

[gracicot]

Wow thank you! I will try that and make my pull request soon!

[gracicot]

Hmm, that didn't seem to help. I'll open the pull request as a draft instead

[dg0yt]

Maybe the installed vcpkg-cmake (for the host triplet) needs an upgrade. Check with ./vcpkg upgrade.

[tblattner]

I know this is an old one, but it helped me fix an issue and thought I'd post in case it helps others. To get it to work have to include both vcpkg-cmake and vcpkg-cmake-config

[dg0yt]

vcpkg-cmake provides the modern vcpkg_cmake_configure/build/install functions.
vcpkg-cmake-config provides vcpkg_cmake_config_fixup. It isn't directly related to the others.

[azharHxGN73]

@tblattner, include them both where?

[tblattner]

Added in the dependencies list in vcpkg.json:

  "dependencies": [
    {
      "name": "vcpkg-cmake",
      "host": true
    },
    {
      "name": "vcpkg-cmake-config",
      "host": true
    }
]

[tblattner]

The use of vcpkg_cmake_config_fixup in the original post is what led me here. So its possible the OP only included vcpkg-cmake, but forgot to include vcpkg-cmake-config to handle the vcpkg_cmake_config_fixup command.

[dg0yt]

No need to guess. The error message was Unknown CMake command "vcpkg_cmake_configure".
At that time, this could be lack of, or an outdated installation of, vcpkg-cmake. The latter being not so obvious.
