Linking against vcpkg feature library

[LittleTreeTrunk]

I am using tiff library in my Project (Visual Studio, CMake, vcpkg in manifest mode). We are using the cxx (C++ version of tiff library) feature also. my vcpkg.json file contains the following "dependencies" to incorporate the tiff library.

{ "name": "tiff", "features":["cxx"]}

The 'usage' file in vcpkg specifies that tiff is to be used like the following

find_package(TIFF REQUIRED)
    target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE TIFF::TIFF)

In the project the package is found by giving the following command in the CMake file

find_package(TIFF REQUIRED)

Then it is linked by the following command

target_link_libraries(myexe PRIVATE TIFF::TIFF)

The project build gives me error related to tiffxx linking.

May I know the right wat to link against 'tiffxx' through CMake?

TIFF::TIFF is the widely used target available via the Find module but not the C++ binding. You might use plain find_library for [lib]tiffxx. You will probably need to setup an imported target which also links TIFF::TIFF.

There should be exported CMake config (in the future). It is not yet installed by the port because it still lacks an exported TIFF::TIFF. Cf. https://gitlab.com/libtiff/libtiff/-/merge_requests/496.

Thank you very much for the help.

I was going through the vcpkg documentation to understand how to link against an additional feature used.
If everything was correct in the case of tifxx, may I know how I would have linked it in the "right way" in my application?
