Unable to setup vcpkg to compile pc-ble-driver (vcpkg install --head spdlog fails)

[jpo38]

I'm following pc-ble-driver compilation steps.

I could run "vcpkg install asio" and "vcpkg install catch2", but "vcpkg install --head spdlog" fails with error:

C:\dev\vobs_nrf_driver-4.1.1\pc-ble-driver-4.1.1\build>vcpkg install --head spdlog

"vcpkg install spdlog" works, could this be a good workaround?

Hi,

I see the same error (only for x86) when testing this on my setup. 

Did you manage to compile the driver after installing with "vcpkg install spdlog"? If you did, I suppose this could be a good workaround.

Best regards,
Jørgen

Hi,

The developer has now merged a temporary fix to the issue. Please have a look at the pull request.

[EDIT]: Is there any specific reason that you want to use the master branch? In general, we recommend using the latest release version.

Best regards,
Jørgen

Thanks for the update,

That's what I'm doing, I'm compiling the release version 4.1.1, not the master.

Kind regards,

Jean

Actually, I see the same error even after the pull request.

Did you remember to checkout branch "fix/temporary-fix-spdlog-until-vcpkg-release" after cloning Nordics vcpkg fork?

There is no command to install spdlog in v4.1.1 tag instruction.

[jpo38]

No, I was using master, but I see the same problem after I tried using "vcpkg-fix-temporary-fix-spdlog-until-vcpkg-release".

Anyway, you are right, I don't need that as I'm building 4.1.1. I was looking at the wrong Readme file.
