# vcpkg_download_distfile
|
|
|
|
The latest version of this document lives in the [vcpkg repo](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/docs/maintainers/vcpkg_download_distfile.md).
|
|
|
|
Download and cache a file needed for this port.
|
|
|
|
This helper should always be used instead of CMake's built-in `file(DOWNLOAD)` command.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
```cmake
|
|
vcpkg_download_distfile(
|
|
<OUT_VARIABLE>
|
|
URLS <http://mainUrl> <http://mirror1>...
|
|
FILENAME <output.zip>
|
|
SHA512 <5981de...>
|
|
[ALWAYS_REDOWNLOAD]
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
## Parameters
|
|
### OUT_VARIABLE
|
|
This variable will be set to the full path to the downloaded file. This can then immediately be passed in to [`vcpkg_extract_source_archive`](vcpkg_extract_source_archive.md) for sources.
|
|
|
|
### URLS
|
|
A list of URLs to be consulted. They will be tried in order until one of the downloaded files successfully matches the SHA512 given.
|
|
|
|
### FILENAME
|
|
The local name for the file. Files are shared between ports, so the file may need to be renamed to make it clearly attributed to this port and avoid conflicts.
|
|
|
|
### SHA512
|
|
The expected hash for the file.
|
|
|
|
If this doesn't match the downloaded version, the build will be terminated with a message describing the mismatch.
|
|
|
|
### QUIET
|
|
Suppress output on cache hit
|
|
|
|
### SKIP_SHA512
|
|
Skip SHA512 hash check for file.
|
|
|
|
This switch is only valid when building with the `--head` command line flag.
|
|
|
|
### ALWAYS_REDOWNLOAD
|
|
Avoid caching; this is a REST call or otherwise unstable.
|
|
|
|
Requires `SKIP_SHA512`.
|
|
|
|
### HEADERS
|
|
A list of headers to append to the download request. This can be used for authentication during a download.
|
|
|
|
Headers should be specified as "<header-name>: <header-value>".
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
The helper [`vcpkg_from_github`](vcpkg_from_github.md) should be used for downloading from GitHub projects.
|
|
|
|
