Additional context

I tried installing pkgconf but that didn't help.

Update your vcpkg baseline.

[winterz]

here's my vcpkg.json

{
    "dependencies": [
        "icu",
        "glib",
        "libxml2",
        {
            "name": "berkeleydb",
            "platform": "windows"
        }
    ],
    "builtin-baseline": "7eb700c9688daed6d8bdcdc571ebe3eedea6a774"
}

sha 7eb700c is the newest that I can see

[dg0yt]

And this the offending line for that commit:

vcpkg/scripts/cmake/z_vcpkg_setup_pkgconfig_path.cmake

Line 5 in 7eb700c

message(FATAL_ERROR "CONFIG is required.")

... That error message no longer exists.

Does git pull help?

[winterz]

oh.. wait I'm using the Windows vcpkg that comes with MSVC.
ie.

c:\>echo %VCPKG_ROOT%
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\VC\vcpkg

indeed, this vcpkg has an old scripts/cmake/z_vcpkg_setup_pkgconfig_path.cmake

is it possible to upgrade the vcpkg in-place or do I need to use my own vcpkg installation?

[dg0yt]

Use your own vcpkg installation.
