DNeg's XStudio on windows with CMake

Hello everyone,

i am trying to install DNeg’s XStudio on windows with CMake, but i am finding many difficulties.
Every time I do the CMake setup it tells me that a new package is missing.

the first one was “nlohmann_json”
(solved by downloading the package from GitHub and placed in the folder
./XStudio/xstudio/build/vcpkg/packages/nlohmann-json_x64-windows/share/nlohmann_json)

the second one “pybind11”
(solved by downloading the package via Python and placed in the folder
C:/Users/User/AppData/Local/Packages/PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.12_qbz5n2kfra8p0/LocalCache/local-packages/Python312/site-packages/pybind11/share/cmake/pybind11

now it is “cafConfig.cmake” which i can’t figure out where to find it.

I wanted to know if there was a single guide on how to implement XStudio, because online I can’t find a comprehensive guide on the various procedures to follow.

the only generic guide is on

github.com

# Build XStudio on Windows

## Install basic tools
---

To build XStudio on Windows, you need to install some basic tools. The Windows build uses VCPKG to install third-party dependencies. Follow these steps to set up the development environment:

1. First, ensure that you are using an [administrative](https://www.howtogeek.com/194041/how-to-open-the-command-prompt-as-administrator-in-windows-8.1/) shell.

2. Install MS Visual Studio 2019 (Community Edition is fine) [Visual Studio Legacy Installs](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/).

3. Restart your machine after Visual Studio finishes installing

4. Execute the script `setup_dev_env.ps1` located in the [script/setup](/scripts/setup/setup_dev_env.ps1) folder.

Might I suggest using vcpkg or Conan to find dependencies on Windows? I see a vcpkg port at least. I can’t help much with using these myself; others here might be able to help, but their docs would be one place to start.
