librdkafka vcpkg that includes Linux ARM64v8 and macOS ARM64v8 artifacts?

[jeremyosterhoudt]

We are using the C++ version of RD Kafka and noticed we are unable to build for ARM64 for Linux and Mac due to what looks like librdkafka not being available in ARM64 for Linux and macOS via vcpkg (maybe Windows as well but we didn't test). The same build scripts are able to resolve librdkafka when used for x86/x64 on Linux and Mac. Is there an easy way to confirm if they are indeed not published? If they are not published is it a difficult task to add them to the distribution (happy to attempt a PR if someone can point me in the right direction).

$ vcpkg install librdkafka:arm64-linux
....
Elapsed time to handle librdkafka:arm64-linux: 21 s
Total install time: 26 s
The package librdkafka:arm64-linux provides CMake targets:

    find_package(RdKafka CONFIG REQUIRED)
    target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE RdKafka::rdkafka RdKafka::rdkafka++)

Interesting, looks like I need to look at our build script a little closer. Figured since it worked fine for x64 and I didn't see linux-arm in the Compatibility list using the package browser on vcpkg.io it may not be published, but looks like that assumption was bad.

Thank you for your time!

Don't look at vcpkg.io. It is always outdated. Sadly, no improvement in years.
Try https://vcpkg.link.

Or look at ports/<PORT>/vcpkg.json, field supports.
Or try vcpkg install --dry-run <PORT>:triplet.

But even if a platform is not directly excluded, it might still be recorded as CI baseline, or can be blocked by an unsupported dependency. (The install --dry-run must check the dependencies.)
