In Vs for Windows, there is a package manager console. I can't seem to find a comparable feature in VS for Mac. I found the Package Console, but it seems to communicate to me what is happening, but doesn't seem to let me type in any commands. I’m not sure where to find the package manager console in Visual Studio for Mac. I’ve tried installing the NuGet Package Management Extension but that still does not let me run the commands written in the guide I linked above.

Helps you acquire. Since September 2016, the community added more than 200 libraries in the vcpkg catalog and has been contributing actively to the code itself. Vcpkg now supports Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017 and can target dynamic or static libraries and platforms like x64, x86 or UWP. Today we are delighted to announce a new command: vcpkg export. As you told us in our recent survey, there is a need for a command that exports the binaries that you built using vcpkg.

The purpose of this new command is to let you share and redistribute the binaries generated using vcpkg with other developers who want to use it in their project. For example, the team responsible for 3rd party library acquisition in an enterprise can use vcpkg to generate a common set of library binaries used by enterprise projects, and then use vcpkg export to share those binaries (including the.h, the.lib and all thing needed to build against these libraries) with internal developers. The syntax for the new command is: vcpkg export. --[options] You have several options for the export format: • –zip • –7zip • –nuget • –raw (uncompressed folder) When you specify a package to export, all its dependencies are also included in the exported archive. This means the exported packages can stand on their own – no additional dependencies are required. Here are some examples that demonstrate ways you can use vcpkg export. Exporting to nuget > vcpkg export cpprestsdk zlib --nuget The following packages are already built and will be exported: * boost:x86-windows * bzip2:x86-windows cpprestsdk:x86-windows * openssl:x86-windows * websocketpp:x86-windows zlib:x86-windows Additional packages (*) need to be exported to complete this operation.
