I've been trying to get the bootstrap scripts and subsequent builds of Rocky SDK to work so I can evaluate the package as an option for a project I'm working on, but every time I've attempted so far over the last two days I've hit snags the whole way and get stuck on the vcpkg manifest install of Generally, I've followed these steps (I included the commands I used below):

Personally I avoid using vcpkg under Linux. Not because it doesn't work, but because you can end up with dependency conflicts if your path isn't set up just right.

Under Ubuntu I build VSG (et al) from source, use
