I am on windows 11, I do have another install of vcpkg... could this be related ?
Anyone has seen this too ?

I think you are just missing the patch binary. I don't have a windows box in front of me, but doing something like pacman -S patch should probably do the trick.

Maybe this can be added here.

You're right, that's definitely an oversight that it's not there. I will add it.

I'm glad it's working for you. The Windows build can be tricky so good job getting it to build!

To me the documentation is good. The biggest hurdle is to get all downloaded and installed I guess... the ACLOCAL_PATH is about the only thing that is not in the readme that I have to set/export, to make it work on win11.
Thanks again for your help.
