The primary distribution method for the Windows MIDI Services App SDK build-time dependencies is NuGet. The NuGet package contains the C# projection, as well as the required WinMD files, the initialization .hpp file, and the version information header.
However, using NuGet packages in C++ outside of Visual Studio can be very challenging.
To more easily integrate into cmake, and other vcpkg-aware tools, there is now a vcpkg wrapper around the NuGet package. The wrapper downloads cppwinrt and the SDK package, and generates the headers right there, in a vcpkg and cmake-friendly way.
The vcpackage is microsoft-windows-devices-midi2 and may be found here.
The cmake example, and the accompanying readme, contain the instructions needed to integrate the vcpkg into your build pipeline. This has been tested with msbuild and msvc++. If you use other C++ toolchains and run into issues, please file a bug with clear setup and repro instructions on GitHub.
Windows MIDI Services is an open source project with all source available on GitHub. We have a great community on Discord as well. Between GitHub and Discord, you should find the information you are looking for.
