Windows development setup

Can you share detail setup required for Windows based platform ?

What difficulties are you having? This is what I do:

• vcpkg for installing curl and zlib
• git for Windows for cloning vsgCs, though it's possible that Visual Studio's git would work fine.
• cmake. I add the cmake variable CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/dev/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake ; obviously you would point to your own vcpkg installation. Alternatively you could follow the vcpkg instructions for integrating vckpkg with Visual Studio.
• The latest release of vsgCs will download cesium-native, VSG, and vsgImGui and build them.
• I compile using Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition.
• I run vsgCs either from the MSVC debugger or the command prompt.

Ah, that's a problem with how Tracy is defined as a git submodule. A workaround would be to create an account at github and load up an SSH key so that the git@github.com syntax works, but I'll see about changing the submodule definition to use https.

How have you installed curl? I don't use Visual Studio's builtin CMake, so I really don't know where it is looking for headers and libraries.

Download binaries from https://curl.se/windows/ and give system environment variables to the path, For windows how you are doing? can you share some common steps for windows if possible ?

That's not enough; you need to install header files too. I already described my specific setup; I suggest you read the documentation for vcpkg on how to integrate it with Visual Studio.
