Vcpkg port for msdf-atlas-gen?

[DanielWeiner]

Hi, I'm working on a project that uses vcpkg for dependency management and I thought it would be nice if this repo were to be made into a vcpkg port.

My solution in the meantime was to use overlay ports and make a custom portfile and vcpkg.json to be consumed by vcpkg.

I'll share my solution here because it could serve as a general idea of how the port could look.

My portfile.cmake:

vcpkg_from_github(
    OUT_SOURCE_PATH SOURCE_PATH
    REPO Chlumsky/msdf-atlas-gen
    REF f6a1bc9f76cdaee40a4392e4b4c151cdc959bbb9
    SHA512 d992258037d113fd3f44b1f5b6511993900b9572c3701aade1ad9af0e9bd7a7939f77f0c7e8a730111eaacbdd5425d5e241ad3f52129bf6639a0b128db895781
    HEAD_REF master
)
vcpkg_cmake_configure(
  SOURCE_PATH ${SOURCE_PATH}
  OPTIONS
    -DMSDF_ATLAS_BUILD_STANDALONE=OFF
    -DMSDF_ATLAS_NO_ARTERY_FONT=ON
    -DMSDF_ATLAS_MSDFGEN_EXTERNAL=ON
    -DMSDF_ATLAS_INSTALL=ON
)
vcpkg_cmake_install()
vcpkg_cmake_config_fixup(CONFIG_PATH lib/cmake)

file(
  INSTALL "${SOURCE_PATH}/LICENSE.txt"
  DESTINATION "${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}/share/${PORT}"
  RENAME copyright
)

file(
    COPY "${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}/share/${PORT}/${PORT}"
    DESTINATION "${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}/share"
)
file(REMOVE_RECURSE "${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}/share/${PORT}/${PORT}")
file(REMOVE_RECURSE "${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}/debug/include")
file(REMOVE_RECURSE "${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}/debug/share")

My vcpkg.json:

{
    "name": "msdf-atlas-gen",
    "version": "1.3.0",
    "description": "Multi-channel signed distance field atlas generator",
    "homepage": "https://github.com/Chlumsky/msdf-atlas-gen",
    "license": "MIT",
    "dependencies": [
        "vcpkg-cmake-config",
        "vcpkg-cmake",
        "freetype",
        "tinyxml2",
        "libpng"
    ],
    "default-features": [
        "geometry-preprocessing"
    ],
    "features": {
        "geometry-preprocessing": {
            "description": "Preprocessing of non-compliant vector geometry via the Skia library",
            "dependencies": [ {
                "name": "skia",
                "default-features": false
            } ]
        }
    }
}

Note that the above vcpkg.json was copy-pasted from the one at the root of this repo, with the additional vcpkg-cmake and vcpkg-cmake-config dependencies to make the portfile work.

Would someone be able to make a PR with this into vcpkg repository?
microsoft/vcpkg#22284

I have also written a custom port for msdf-atlas-gen. My reason for not making a PR to microsoft/vcpkg is that 1.3.0 is not formally released yet, and doesn't have a release tag.
