CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED):
Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.

Update the VERSION argument value. Or, use the ... syntax
to tell CMake that the project requires at least but has been updated
to work with policies introduced by or earlier.

Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.

It works if I force it to use downloaded binaries (not sure why it's not doing this by default) :

C:\Users\dgors\source\repos\vcpkg>set VCPKG_FORCE_DOWNLOADED_BINARIES=1

C:\Users\dgors\source\repos\vcpkg>vcpkg install freeglut

To suppress this message, unset the environment variable or use the --vcpkg-root command line switch.

@davegorst This is an error caused by the fact that cmake 4.0 is not compatible with cmake versions below 3.5. Can you submit this to upstream, the upstream needs to modify the minimum version limit of cmake.
