How do I tell vcpkg to build and install static libraries and not dynamic ones, or both?

[eabase]

I'm building a project that produces 2 static binaries, but which depends on several libraries whose packages I installed via vcpkg. However, seeing that my build refuses to create static binaries, my AI told me it's because the libraries provided by vcpkg are (all?) dynamic.

The libraries missing from my build are:

jpeg62.dll
libpng16d.dll
libcurl-d.dll
zlibd1.dll

They were installed using:

vcpkg.exe install curl libpng libjpeg-turbo libgd gdk-pixbuf

How can I tell vcpkg to create the static libraries I can use to link with and search from within CMakeLists.txt?

They were installed using:

vcpkg.exe install curl libpng libjpeg-turbo libgd gdk-pixbuf

Try using

vcpkg.exe install curl libpng libjpeg-turbo libgd gdk-pixbuf --triplet=x64-windows-static

vcpkg.exe --help - and -

can get one started.

If you use the manifest mode, you need to add the following configuration to your CMakeLists.txt file.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.30)

if (WIN32)
    set(VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET    x64-windows-static-md)
elseif (APPLE)
    set(VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET    x64-osx)        #static-md
elseif (LINUX)
    set(VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET    x64-linux)      #static-md
else ()
    message(FATAL_ERROR "Can't build project because platform \"${CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME}\" not support")
endif ()

include(${VCPKG_ROOT}/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake)
