vcpkg hangs when when installing any package

[vnen]

I'm using the latest vcpkg (a9d989e) with Windows 10 (build 16299.371) and every time I try to install a package it hangs forever in one of the steps.

Looking at the task manager, I noticed that there's a cmake process without any activity. Maybe it's a problem with CMake? I have the version 3.11.1 of CMake installed.

If I kill the cmake process, vcpkg stops with BUILD_FAILED message.

I too experience the same problem. vckpg hangs the OS when I tried to install caffe2 package!

Maybe it's related to this issue?
Are you running out of memory before it hangs?

@vnen , I can't reproduce your issue with the latest vcpkg:2018.11.23-nohash and Win10 1809(build 17763.316), I think this issue has been fixed, could you help confirm? If this issue was fixed, please close this issue. Thank you.

Tried today with latest commit (f9c461c).

I've been more patient now and discovered that it finishes but takes way too long (9min when installing OpenSSL, 11.2min installing curl). It stops on the Performing CMake integration test phase and keeps there for a long time without using much of the computer resources. CPU usage is close to 0 and I still have over 8GB of available memory, so definitely not running out. It only fully uses the CPU in the building step.

I think the time it takes to finish is still an issue, but if it's supposed to take that long then you may close the issue. Again, maybe is an issue with CMake (I have version 3.13.4 installed), but I'm not sure how to pinpoint the source of the stall.

vcpkg install qt5-base:x64-windows hangs after reporting a successful compilation and installation, not making any apparent progress even after more than 2 hours when I try to build a Docker image. See moby/moby#40266 (comment) for details.
