[matplot++] <requires nodesoup and fftw3[threads]>

[SKNo]

---

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I've built Matplot++ library without any problem (x64-windows and x64-windows-static). However I cannot build simple examples (linktime error).

Matplot++ requires nodesoup (nodesoup is available on https://github.com/olvb/nodesoup)

• error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "class std::vector<struct nodesoup::Point2D,class std::allocator<struct nodesoup ...

Matlab++ seems to require fftw3[threads] because of Cimg

• Matplot++ requires Cimg and the Cimg built by vcpkg requires fftw3[threads], so vcpkg should build fftw3[threads] as a prerequisite for Cimg, or if possible Cimg should be built with installed version of fftw3. I had to rebuild fftw3 with threads (which forced me to rebuild other packages such as dlib).

Proposed solution
Just my thoughts :

• Evidently add nodesoupe
• If possible , building ftw3[threads] uniquely for Cimg or buildind Cimg with already installed version of fftw3 such as fftw3 or fftw3[openmp].

Describe alternatives you've considered
At this moment I would try binary packages of Matplotlib++ provided by author https://alandefreitas.github.io/matplotplusplus/.

Additional context
Thank you

Yes, they are bundled into the main repo; I think that the right way is to unbundle it and package it into vcpkg (also there was CImg in repo)

@leha-bot @JackBoosY
I've double checked : vcpkg builds nodesoup, and copies it at subdirectory VcpkgDir\installed\x64-windows\debug\lib\Matplot++ like binary distribution by the author (I don't know why there) .... I had to add it manually for linking.

Confirmed.
