* `Kits -> <Your_Kit> -> CMake Configuration`
Append this:
``` bash
CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE:STRING=%{CurrentProject:Path}/../ScreenPlay-vcpkg/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
# Only _one_ of these lines that match your OS:
VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET:STRING=x64-windows
VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET:STRING=x64-linux
VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET:STRING=x64-osx
```

# Developer docs
We use qdoc to generate documentation. Qt6 is the minimum version qdoc, because of vastly improved c++ parsing support.
* qdoc.exe configWindows.qdocconf
If you have installed Qt in a different directory, change the path to your Qt location.
Some useful links:
