概述
通过Vcpkg安装library，能够不设定include、library的路径，而且可以自动复制依赖库，是利用到了Visual Studio，链接器，还有附带工具达成的。
Vcpkg的目录结构
vcpkg的目录结构
- ports 可用包配置信息
- downloads 库源代码包下载存放路径
- buildtrees 库构造路径
- packages 库编译结果
- installed 库安装目录
其中installed存放了已安装信息，并且按照规则集中存放库内容
- x86-windows 32位windows库
- x64-windows
- x86-windows-static 32位windows静态库
- x64-windows-static
- x86-uwp 32位uwp库
- x64-uwp
- arm-uwp
目录结构如下:
bin
debug
bin
lib
include
lib
share
也就是说，通过这种方式安装的库，是有统一的存放规则的，通过这些规则可以合并出对应的include、library、binary文件路径。
targets文件
Visual Studio的构建系统使用的是MSBuild，配置及构建目标定义都可以存放在.props和.targets文件中，由于安装的库遵循统一规则，因而在vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\msbuild下可以找到完成上述统一配置的targets文件vcpkg.targets.

可以看到，根据不同的配置信息，配置完成了include、library以及binary路径及对应的处理。
与Visual Studio 2015的整合
现在我们知道在Visual Studio 2015中免配置，是通过导入统一的targets来实现的，整合方式是什么样的？
在Visual Studio 2015中支持导入默认的配置，具体路径为：
$(MSBUILDLOCATION)/Microsoft.Cpp/v4.0/V140/ImportBefore/Default/
其中$(MSBUILDLOCATION)通常为C:/Program Files (x86)/MSBuild/.
Vcpkg在执行整合时，会在该路径下创建vcpkg.system.targets文件，内容如下：
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<!-- version 1 -->
<PropertyGroup>
<VCLibPackagePath Condition="'$(VCLibPackagePath)' == ''">$(LOCALAPPDATA)\vcpkg\vcpkg.user</VCLibPackagePath>
</PropertyGroup>
<Import Condition="'$(VCLibPackagePath)' != '' and Exists('$(VCLibPackagePath).targets')" Project="$(VCLibPackagePath).targets" />
</Project>
在$(LOCALAPPDATA)\vcpkg\下会创建vcpkg.user.targets来导入vcpkg路径下的.targets文件,譬如：
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<Import Condition="Exists('D:\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\msbuild\vcpkg.targets') and '$(VCPkgLocalAppDataDisabled)' == ''" Project="D:\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\msbuild\vcpkg.targets" />
</Project>
这种方式无论是通过Visual Studio 2015还是MSBuild构造工程都可以正确识别，但是Visual Studio 2010无法采用这种方式导入全局配置。
library免配置
常规的library配置会指定依赖的library名称，但是link实际上识别如下方式的lib依赖配置:
$(LibraryPath)/*.lib
采用这种方式，可以避免单独配置对应的库依赖，但是不适用于同一路径下存放了库的debug和release版本。
自动复制依赖的动态库
link.exe /dump /imports $(target)
以上的命令会输出目标导入的dll和所有符号，譬如:
输出动态库依赖
根据该命令能够得到所有依赖的动态库,然后根据binary路径进行复制。
vcpkg采用的方法:
dumpbin.exe /DEPENDENTS $(target)
输出如下:
dumpbin输出动态库依赖
