[boost] build failure x64-windows-static about vcpkg

[Neumann-A]

vcpkg remove boost-uninstall --recurse would be enough for the triplets you want to upgrade

[SKNo]

Also vcpkg upgrade/install boost:x64-windows, only upgrades/installs a small subset of boost libraries and
sub-libraries from boost-accumulators to boost-yap are not automatically upgraded / installed.
Should I upgrade/install one sub-library at time? Just try to figure it out.
Thank you

same issue as #38487

Please do not mix installed trees of different commits of vcpkg.

[SKNo]

I did not mix installed trees of different commits
I use both shared and static libraries in my projects, I deleted buildtrees and tried to rebuild shared and static from scratch as suggeted.
vcpkg install boost:x64-windows worked but didn't install most of boost libraries,
vcpkg install boost:x64-windows-static failed as mentioned above
Thank you

The problem is that this works fine:

The package boost-cobalt is compatible with built-in CMake targets of FindBoost.cmake:

    find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS cobalt)
    target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE Boost::cobalt)

or the generated cmake configs via:

    find_package(boost_cobalt REQUIRED CONFIG)
    target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE Boost::cobalt)

If I locally test it with a clean checkout

[SKNo]

Okay, I will delete all boost buildtrees and try again.

[SKNo]

vcpkg remove boost-uninstall --recurse would be enough for the triplets you want to upgrade
Not working .. will do with a new clean checkout

[Neumann-A]

When was the last time you re-bootstrapped vcpkg itself? Normally you should do that after a git pull. IF vcpkg remove boost-uninstall --recurse does not work to remove all of boost for a given triplet you either haven't bootstrapped vcpkg again or your installed tree is messed up.

[SKNo]

I do re-bootstrap after each git pull. I guess my buildtree is messed up. I will do a new and clean checkout (will take lot of time to rebuild everything). I will confirm here if everything is Ok (permitting to close or keep issues open)
Thank you

[SKNo]

@Neumann-A
I confirm that after a clean and new checkout, all builds worked out correctly (I compile on a laptop, so took a long time)
I have no idea what happend to my buildtrees (I have not done anything out of ordinary), so I leave it to you to keep this issue and the other one (#38487) open or close.
While I am here, I have a question wrt to the new ports, I see most (all?) of requests for new ports are going inactive (including mine #35648 ) What is the new policy for the new ports?
Thank you
