@NathanPierson I found a video ( [this video] ) to install vcpkg and matplotlib-cpp (Done). But when compiling an example vs encountered an error stating that "can nor open source file "python.h"". Going back to page ( [LINK] ) it mentioned "Since a python interpreter is opened internally, it is necessary to link against `libpython` in order to user matplotlib-cpp" Do you know how to solve this part?
Cites Tar · 2019-03 · Stack Overflow · on “vcpkg: how to install packages per project (not user-wide)?”
Having watched the vcpkg tutorial [this video] , reviewed the instructions [LINK] (and integration instructions [LINK] ), I couldn't find a way to: Privately install a package, meaning only for use of current project, rather than user-wide Derived from previous bullet - a way to install different versions of a package for different projects: if I update a package in use by project A , I don't want project B to get affected. I assume the above wish-list is obvious, so I assume there is a way to do it... But how? Google brought nothing.
