You have modified or added at least one portfile where deprecated functions are used.

If you feel able to do so, please consider migrating them to the new functions:
vcpkg_install_cmake -> vcpkg_cmake_install (from port vcpkg-cmake)
vcpkg_build_cmake -> vcpkg_cmake_build (from port vcpkg-cmake)
vcpkg_configure_cmake -> vcpkg_cmake_configure (Please remove the option PREFER_NINJA) (from port vcpkg-cmake)
vcpkg_fixup_cmake_targets -> vcpkg_cmake_config_fixup (from port vcpkg-cmake-config)

In the ports that use the new function, you have to add the corresponding dependencies:

{
  "name": "vcpkg-cmake",
  "host": true
},
{
  "name": "vcpkg-cmake-config",
  "host": true
}

The following files are affected:

• ports/directxmesh/portfile.cmake
• ports/directxtex/portfile.cmake
• ports/directxtk/portfile.cmake
• ports/directxtk12/portfile.cmake
• ports/uvatlas/portfile.cmake

A GitHub action told me to try out using the new vcpkg-cmake port commands.

I did, and for directxtk, directxtk12, and directxtex it fails using the new commands because my CMakeLists generates C headers via a custom_command that needs to be used for building:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:152 (add_custom_command):
  OUTPUT path

    D:/vcpkg/buildtrees/directxtk/src/sept2021-e237a84202.clean/Src/Shaders/Compiled/SpriteEffect_SpriteVertexShader.inc

  in a source directory as an output of custom command.

I was able to use the new commands successfully for directxmesh, uvatlas which do not have embedded HLSL shaders.

my CMakeLists generates C headers via a custom_command that needs to be used for building:

If you need to generate files, better do that in the binary directory, not in the source directory.

The new cmake maintainer functions use Ninja by default. And they build debug and release in parallel by default. This isn't compatible with modifying files in the source directory.

If you need to generate files, better do that in the binary directory, not in the source directory.

This would break compatibility with all my vcxprojs in the current design. I'll take a look at options for resolving this in a future update of my libraries.

Thanks for the updates! Please do consider avoiding edits to the source tree during build soon.
