LINK Errors When Using arm64-windows-static-md Triplet with gRPC Package

[atul-bhalerao-alludo]

Describe the bug

I am experiencing LINK errors while building my application with the arm64-windows-static-md triplet. The application builds successfully with the x64-windows-static-md triplet but fails for the arm64 configuration.

Environment

• OS: Windows
• Compiler: MSVC 19.42.34435.0
• vcpkg-scripts version: fc97d3e

To Reproduce

Project Setup:

1. The project uses the gRPC package.
2. CMakeLists.txt is used to configure the build process.
3. The vcpkg.json file is used to install the gRPC package.

vcpkg.json

{
  "name": "mylib",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "dependencies": [
    {
      "name": "grpc",
      "platform": "(windows & x64 & static )"
    },
    {
      "name": "grpc",
      "platform": "(windows & arm64 & static )"
    }
  ]
}

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use the vcpkg.json to install the gRPC package for the application.
2. Configure and build the application using CMakeLists.txt.
3. Set the triplet to x64-windows-static-md and build the application successfully.
4. Change the triplet to arm64-windows-static-md and attempt to build the application.

Expected behavior

The application should build successfully with the arm64-windows-static-md triplet, just like it does with the x64-windows-static-md triplet.

Failure logs

• The build process fails with LINK errors.
• LINK errors are as follows:

@atul-bhalerao-alludo, Thanks for posting this issue, I successfully installed grpc:arm64-windows-static-md locally using the vcpkg.json you provided：

-- Found external ninja('1.12.1').
-- Configuring arm64-windows-static-md
-- Building arm64-windows-static-md-dbg
-- Building arm64-windows-static-md-rel
-- Installing: F:/test/vcpkg/packages/grpc_arm64-windows-static-md/share/grpc/copyright
-- Performing post-build validation
Stored binaries in 1 destinations in 5.1 min.

Total install time: 1.3 h
grpc provides CMake targets:

  # this is heuristically generated, and may not be correct
  find_package(gRPC CONFIG REQUIRED)
  # note: 13 additional targets are not displayed.
  target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE gRPC::gpr gRPC::grpc gRPC::grpc++ gRPC::grpc++_alts)

But when I'm testing usage I get this error:

I investigated and found that the reason was that after the installation of grpc:arm64-windows-static-md triplet, only gRPCConfig.cmake was generated in the packages path, and nothing was generated in the installed path, so an error was reported.

So I'm wondering how you use it, can you provide your CMakeLists?
