Re: New Build Dependencies: Lemon + GTK3

 

Just tried your branch and unfortunately couldn't get it to compile on
Visual Studio (even after a "vcpkg install lemon:x64-windows" and "vcpkg
integrate install")... I got the cmake error "lemon not found"

I know Visual Studio isn't officially supported but any ideas what I could
do to install lemon correctly so visual studio/ cmake can recognise it?

Thanks

Roberto
