On macOS there are similar issues, with a bit different resolution:

export spdlog_DIR=/usr/local/var/vcpkg/packages/spdlog_x64-osx
export fmt_DIR=/usr/local/var/vcpkg/packages/fmt_x64-osx
export Catch2_DIR=/usr/local/var/vcpkg/packages/catch2_x64-osx

cmake -G Ninja -DCOMPILE_CONNECTIVITY=1 -DCONNECTIVITY_VERSION=4.1.4 -DNRF_BLE_DRIVER_VERSION=4.1.4 -DASIO_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/var/vcpkg/packages/asio_x64-osx/include ..

And make sure to have GNUARMEMB_TOOLCHAIN_PATH pointing to gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2018-q2-update

So I finally figured this out. Short answer: NONE of the above installers correctly update the necessary environment variables for Windows. You need to go into the system environment variables and do the following:

1) Add the following to PATH: c:\cmake\bin; c:\program files\git\bin; c: \program files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin

2) Set CMAKE_C_COMPILER to "cl.exe" and CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to "cl.exe"

3) Set ASIO_INCLUDE_DIR to the include directory you created during VCPKG install at ...\vcpkg\packages\asio_x64-windows\include

4) Set spdlog_DIR to the include directory you created during VCPKG install at ...\vcpkg\packages|spdlog_x64-windows\share\spdlog

5) in CMakeLists.txt, make sure that you add the path to spdlog to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, e.g. set (CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "c:/projects/vcpkg/spdlog_65-windows:${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH}")

Hi Pierre,

Thanks for reporting this. I have forwarded this to the pc-ble-driver developers.
