How can vcpkg be integrated with Emscripten to work together?

[xb284524239]

How can vcpkg be integrated with Emscripten to work together? I want to compile my project into WASM, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Does vcpkg currently support Emscripten? Are there any relevant operational guidelines?

Source Emscripten's emsdk_env to get environment variables.
Then build for triplet wasm32-emscripten.

Hello, I just tried using the gdcm library. When I used the classic mode, building it as WASM went smoothly; the command I used was: vcpkg install gdcm[core]:wasm32-emscripten

However, when I used the manifest mode, the build failed. I'm not sure where the problem lies. Could you help me?

# vcpkg.json
{
  "dependencies": [
    {
      "name": "gdcm"
    }
  ]
}

However, when I used the manifest mode, the build failed. I'm not sure where the problem lies.

I would guess that your manifest mode build didn't get the environment variables from emsdk_env.

How can I ensure that vcpkg picks up the environment variables when building WASM in manifest mode?
