Common build issues

On Windows

CMake Error at C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community/Common7/IDE/CommonExtensions/Microsoft/CMake/CMake/share/cmake-3.29/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message): ...

This is because the pre-installed vcpkg from Visual Studio installer overrides the PKG_ROOT environment variable. To fix this, find set(CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE "$ENV{VCPKG_ROOT}/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake") in CMakeLists.txt, replace $ENV{VCPKG_ROOT} with the vcpkg you cloned previously.
