Using CMake and vcpkg in Qt application development
summary
Shows how to build a Qt Quick Controls 2 app mixing C++ and QML with CMake, produce static builds using Qt 5.14’s import mechanism, and pull a third‑party encryption library from vcpkg by installing a triplet and exposing its outputs to CMake. Describes writing a FindPackage wrapper for libraries that lack CMake config files, adding the vcpkg toolchain and triplet variables, and custom vcpkg triplets for iOS/Android so cross‑platform builds actually complete.
