Port of a lib that uses vcpkg

[hectots]

I have a library that uses vcpkg to manage its dependencies. I want to include that library in another project as a port. However, I get an error saying it does not finding some of the packages that I install with vcpkg in the library. What do I need to do in the portfile to specify that the library is built with vcpkg? Here is the portfile:

vcpkg_from_github(
    OUT_SOURCE_PATH SOURCE_PATH
    REPO hectots/solusek
    HEAD_REF external-dependencies
    REF a8055aaf3734cc96f1d646663f415fbb6a355014
    SHA512 0
)

vcpkg_configure_cmake(
    SOURCE_PATH ${SOURCE_PATH}
    PREFER_NINJA
    OPTIONS
        -DUSE_OPENSSL:BOOL=ON
        -DUSE_MYSQL:BOOL=ON
)

vcpkg_install_cmake()

file(INSTALL ${SOURCE_PATH}/LICENSE.txt DESTINATION ${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}/share/solusek RENAME copyright)

With that I get the following error:

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by
  "unofficial-libmariadb" with any of the following names:

    unofficial-libmariadbConfig.cmake
    unofficial-libmariadb-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "unofficial-libmariadb" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
  or set "unofficial-libmariadb_DIR" to a directory containing one of the
  above files.  If "unofficial-libmariadb" provides a separate development
  package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

The unofficial-libmariadb library is installed by vcpkg. I tried passing the -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE in the call to vcpkg_configure_cmake but it didn't work. What could I do?

You also have added the dependency to the vcpkg.json file of the port (can you maybe add the vcpkg.json file as well)?
