Sorry I initially got this confused with another that didn't fill out the checklist. Please fix the build failures though, they appear legitimate.

• The project is amongst the first web search results for "minecraft-server-status C++".

This seems wrong to me; this is why the current instructions ask for a screenshot to be posted. As far as I can see that points at https://github.com/mcstatus-io/* rather than https://github.com/Arp1it/Minecraft_Server_Status_CPP

Thanks for pointing that out.

You're right — my project is not the primary result for that name. I’ll update the port to follow the Owner-Project naming convention to avoid conflicts.

I’m currently fixing the CI/build issues first, and will update the naming accordingly once those are resolved.

🔴 New Regression — All Triplets

minecraft-server-status[core] — Missing CMake Config Files

Status: ✗ Feature test failed across all 13 triplets

Root Cause:
The vcpkg_cmake_config_fixup() function in the portfile is called on a directory that does not exist after the build completes. The error occurs during the install/config fixup phase:

CMake Error at D:/installed/x64-windows/share/vcpkg-cmake-config/vcpkg_cmake_config_fixup.cmake:81 (message):
  'D:/p/minecraft-server-status_x64-windows/debug/share/minecraft-server-status'
  does not exist.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  ports/minecraft-server-status/portfile.cmake:15 (vcpkg_cmake_config_fixup)

Issue Analysis:

1. Build Type: Header-only or data-only port — The source code builds successfully but produces no CMake config files in share/minecraft-server-status/
2. Configuration Error: The portfile incorrectly assumes CMake config files are installed, but the upstream project doesn't generate them
3. Expected Behavior: Either:
   • The port should install CMake config files (if CMake support is required)
   • The vcpkg_cmake_config_fixup() call should be removed (if not applicable)
   • The call should be conditional (only if config files exist)

📋 Recommendations

1. Inspect the upstream project: Verify whether minecraft-server-status is a CMake project that produces cmake/*.cmake config files, or if it's a header-only/data-only package.
2. If CMake config files should be installed:
   • Ensure the upstream CMakeLists.txt includes an install() directive for cmake/ files
   • Or manually install config files in the portfile using file(INSTALL ...)
3. If CMake config files are NOT needed:
   • Remove or conditionally skip the vcpkg_cmake_config_fixup() call
   • Example fix:

     if(VCPKG_CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME STREQUAL "Windows")
         vcpkg_cmake_config_fixup()
     endif()

4. Test locally:
   • Run vcpkg install minecraft-server-status:x64-windows to reproduce the issue locally
   • Check the actual directory structure: ls /{VCPKG_INSTALLED_DIR}/x64-windows/share/minecraft-server-status/
