[gdal-dev] Building GDAL from VCPKG fails with FreeXL

All,

 

I tried to build GDAL 3.11.0 from https://vcpkg.io/en/package/gdal and
FreeXL kept failing on my Windows 11 box using Microsoft Visual Studio
Professional 2022 (64-bit) - Current Version 17.14.7.  To resolve the issue
I built a custom-overlay port and removed FreeXL from the build and then
everything built great.  I tried to just build FreeXL using VCPKG and that
failed so I was wondering if it's just my machine that is messed up or are
others having issues as well?  By removing FreeXL will I be crippling any
other drivers that may depend on it?  I looked at the docs and it didn't
seem that important?  Also, is there a way to specify what drivers not to
build without doing a custom-overlay port?

 

Best regards,

Martin Chapman
