Additional context
Looks like a defect in vcpkg_configure_make, might be related to #11765.

@Neumann-A, could you, please, take a look at this one too?

checking whether the C++ compiler works... no

configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details

libmesh it will not be assembled under MSVC, only under GCC

triplet MinGW ?

Building on Windows

The libMesh library can be built on Microsoft Windows using the msys2 software distribution and the mingw-w64 compiler. There are, however, a few specifics that need to be taken into account.

After installing msys2 you need to install the mingw-w64 C++ compiler. To check that the installation was successfull, you can run

g++ --version

port-bug - not support msvc

It might still be buildable with MSVC, even if they advice using MinGW.

Though there's another issue with the port -- despite --disable-qhull being set in the port file the build fails with (after removing ${MSYS_ROOT}/usr/share/automake-1.16/compile similarly to #11765 (comment)):

Looks like this symlink ruins the build.

@JackBoosY: Not looking at this one for windows since the build scripts itself are broken on windows and there are a lot of unresolved dependencies.

The port should probably use vcpkg qhull instead of the vendored one inside.

And not only qhull?

I'm seeing all pacman powered stuff on the floor right now, probably broken by upstream pacman changes:

OK, now that the msys bit is fixed we're back to the same error originally in this report. I observe that our ci.baseline.txt says:

# libmesh installs tons of problematic files that conflict with other ports (boost, eigen, etc)
libmesh:arm64-windows=skip
libmesh:arm-uwp=skip
libmesh:x64-uwp=skip
libmesh:x64-windows=skip
libmesh:x64-windows-static=skip
libmesh:x86-windows=skip
libmesh:x64-osx=skip
libmesh:x64-linux=skip

and that libmesh's configure script has things like:

  # --------------------------------------------------------------
  # look for a decent C++ compiler or honor --with-cxx=...
  CXX_TRY_LIST="g++ icpc icc pgCC c++"

it seems unlikely that this port ever supported Windows. Their installation instructions at http://libmesh.github.io/installation.html suggest that only mingw-w64 is acceptable as a compiler which vcpkg does not support at this time, though there are ports looking to add that.

Changing tags to indicate that this is a feature request for the port. The right place to patch the port to work with msvc is probably not here.
