Full error message

$ cforge vcpkg setup

       error Unknown command: vcpkg

Steps to reproduce

I was following the Installation and Quick Start guide and installed CForge with the curl to bash command. I tried to add a dependency with --vcpkg flag to a newly created project (cforge init my_project), which showed an error:

$ cforge deps add fmt --vcpkg
cforge - C/C++ Build System beta-3.1.0
       error vcpkg not found. Checked: /home/username/Workspace/Playground/my_project/vcpkg/vcpkg and /home/username/vcpkg/vcpkg
         Run cforge vcpkg setup to set up vcpkg integration
     warning Dependency 'fmt' added to config, but installation failed. Run 'cforge vcpkg setup' then rebuild
       Added fmt 
    Finished Command completed successfully

It tells me to run cforge vcpkg setup, which results in this error:

$ cforge vcpkg setup
cforge - C/C++ Build System beta-3.1.0
       error Unknown command: vcpkg

Run 'cforge help' for a list of available commands.
       error Command failed

This error is returned for any cforge vcpkg [clean|setup|update|...] subcommand.

vcpkg is installed and in my $PATH, including the $VCPKG_ROOT environment variable:

$ which vcpkg
/home/username/Workspace/Dependencies/vcpkg/vcpkg

$ env | grep VCPKG
VCPKG_ROOT=/home/username/Workspace/Dependencies/vcpkg

I then symlinked it:

$ ln -s "${VCPKG_ROOT}" "${HOME}/vcpkg"
$ ls -dalh "${HOME}/vcpkg"
lrwxrwxrwx 1 username username 41 Feb  8 13:19 /home/username/vcpkg -> /home/username/Workspace/Dependencies/vcpkg

CForge can now find my vcpkg installation, but when trying to build the project, it still gives me a linker error.

I upgraded CForge with cforge upgrade, but this didn't change anything.

As a test, I added fmt without the --vcpkg flag and it builds and runs as expected.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Felis, I recently pushed a change to the master branch that should hopefully resolve this issue. I also updated the documentation to mention the deprecation of the initial "cforge vcpkg" command. This command was removed, as cforge deps replaced it.
