This library builds for multiple platforms, this portfile specifically targets Windows. The Windows build has an external dependency on the Network Direct SDK/DDK which can only be downloaded from the Microsoft Website through a browser. For this build to work, you have to modify the port file, by setting a variable in the portfile to the directory holding an unzipped version of the Network Direct SDK/DDK. Is there a mechanism to define command line variables and arguments for vcpkg to propagate into a portfile? |
|
We normally try to avoid external dependences, but It looks like the Network Direct SDK/DDK is available in a NuGet package at https://www.nuget.org/packages/NetworkDirect, so it could probably be added as a separate library in vcpkg. |
|
@Rastaban is there an example application in vcpkg that integrates with nuget? I can probably get that implemented in a short order. |

Sorry for the huge delay I dropped the ball on this one. If you are still available to finish this PR then I would love to help you out, but if you have moved on to other things let me know and I will take it over and get it merged. A nuget package is a zip with a few additional files added to the root directory so you should be able to download with |

Passes for x64-windows, which is what is expected for now. libfabric does support other systems, but those can be done as a separate PR. |
