How do I trigger a full rebuild?

[diehard2]

I've been creating a custom package and my current method of triggering a rebuild is to delete the cache and delete the vcpkg submodule (or clean it) and then re-add it. There must be a better way, but the internet isn't helping me at all.

Also, if I change the triplet to a custom triplet and the package is installed a rebuild is not triggered. It just says my package with the original triplet is installed and doesn't do anything else. The command I'm using is

vcpkg/vcpkg install statsd --overlay-triplets=custom-triplets --overlay-ports=vcpkg-registry/ports/statsd

If I uninstall and the install again it picks up the custom triplet, but does not rebuild any of the dependencies with the new triplet. Is this intended behavior?

You are missing --triplet=yourtriplet or did you set env VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET?

I was using the procedure outlined here - https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/docs/examples/overlay-triplets-linux-dynamic.md

Thanks, specifying the triplet with the overlay was what was needed. Out of curiousity, is there a flag to trigger a full rebuild without delete vcpkg or cleaning it with git?

make sure you are also using --host-triplet=yourtriplet if you are not crosscompiling.

Use manifest mode? That will automatically check the hashes of everything a rebuild as necessary. If you want a full rebuild just delete the /installed/ folder
