Howto "allow unsupported" in manifest mode

[mschollerer]

Hi guys,

recently I switched to the manifest mode and faced with a port thats not officially supported for our plattform(s) but we know it works. In classic mode I would use the --allow-unsupported mode. But how can I handle this easily in manifest mode now?

Thanks!

Use --allow-unsupported

With CMake integration, use the VCPKG_INSTALL_OPTIONS cmake variable.

With MSBuild integration, use the VcpkgAdditionalInstallOptions property.

Thank you for the great answer pointing the documentation. For those using CMake, at the time of writing this reply the usage of VCPKG_INSTALL_OPTIONS in this case would be to add -DVCPKG_INSTALL_OPTIONS="--allow-unsupported" to your cmake command.
