A suspected bug in vcpkg curl on windows
If you suspect a bug in the curl
package of vcpkg
on Windows, here are a few steps you can take to investigate and potentially report the issue:
Reproduce the issue: Try to reproduce the bug on your system. Make sure you have a minimal, reproducible example that clearly demonstrates the problem.
Verify your environment: Ensure that your development environment, including
vcpkg
and related dependencies, is properly set up. Check that you have the latest version ofvcpkg
and thecurl
package installed. You can updatevcpkg
by running.\vcpkg\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
from thevcpkg
installation directory.Check for existing bug reports: Visit the
vcpkg
GitHub repository (https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg) and search for existing bug reports related tocurl
or the issue you're facing. This will help determine if the bug has already been reported and if there are any workarounds or fixes available.File a new bug report: If you couldn't find an existing bug report, create a new one on the
vcpkg
GitHub repository. Include detailed information about the issue, including your system configuration, steps to reproduce, and any error messages or unexpected behavior you encounter. Provide any relevant code snippets or sample projects that can help reproduce the issue.Collaborate with the community: Engage with the
vcpkg
community on GitHub by participating in discussions related to the bug or by providing additional information if requested by maintainers. This collaboration can help identify the root cause and potential solutions.Consider alternative solutions: If the bug persists and no immediate fix is available, you might need to consider alternative approaches to address your requirements. This could involve using a different package manager, manually compiling and integrating
curl
into your project, or exploring other libraries that provide similar functionality.
Remember to be patient and cooperative when reporting bugs. Provide as much information as possible to help the maintainers understand and address the issue effectively.
Note: While I can provide guidance on the process of investigating and reporting bugs, I do not have specific information on the current status or details of the curl
package in vcpkg
. Always refer to the official vcpkg
documentation and engage with the vcpkg
community for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
