Re: [Quantlib-users] Updated vcpkg to v1.24

[Jonathan S. <sw...@gm...>]

Sure, I've pushed up an example[1] for how to include QuantLib into a
project using vcpkg on both Linux and Windows, including the part about the
custom triplet on Linux. If you know of a better place to put the example
then I will be happy to move it there instead.

Apart from that, Microsoft's documentation[2] is not that bad, albeit a bit
fragmented over several different sites in my experience.

One thing that would make the integration with vcpkg even better is if
QuantLib supported the find_package command[3]. Has there been any
discussion of this in the past? If not, then that might be a good idea for
someone to help contribute in the near future.
