I think I have the same problem. Our software uses libcurl by just copying its headers and library files into our source tree and referencing said copies. For a side project I installed cpr trough vcpkg which also brought along libcurl. If I integrate vcpkg user-wide the main software fails to link because now it's able to find 2 copies of libcurl and can't decide which one to link. Modifying it is not an option. I'd like to integrate vcpkg for a single solution/project.

See if vcpkg integrate project can do what you need.

->vcpkg help integrate
Synopsis: Integrates vcpkg with machines, projects, or shells
Examples:
vcpkg integrate install
Makes installed packages available user-wide. Requires admin privileges on
first use
vcpkg integrate remove Removes user-wide integration

vcpkg integrate project
Generates a referencing NuGet package for individual Visual Studio project
use. Windows-only

According to the documentation NuGet isn't recommended. Admittedly, it is going to be Windows-only anyway but I think there should be an easy cross-platform way to integrate into a project just like vcpkg integrate install does user-wide.
