#### Troubleshooting vcpkg

If vcpkg fails to build a package with an error along the lines of `ninja: error: manifest 'build.ninja' still dirty after 100 tries`, then some of your vcpkg installation may have been installed in the future according to Windows due to your VM's timezone being set incorrectly. This can be resolved by running the following commands in Git Bash;

```
cd C:\vcpkg
find . -type f -exec touch {} +
```

If you have a fix that doesn't require Git Bash, feel free to [open an issue](https://github.com/stackotter/swift-cross-ui/issues/new/choose) or pull request with your fix.

If you face a different issue, please open an issue or pull request to update this troubleshooting section.
