## Sources not binaries
2424

25-
For libraries in the Windows catalog, vcpkg downloads sources instead of binaries[1]. It compiles those sources using Visual Studio 2017, or Visual Studio 2015 if 2017 is not installed. In C++, it is very important that any libraries you use are complied with the same compiler, and compiler version, as the application code that links to it. By using vcpkg, you eliminate or at least greatly reduce the potential for mismatched binaries and the problems they can cause. In teams that are standardized on a specific version of the Visual C++ compiler, one team member can use vcpkg to download sources and compile a set of binaries and then use the export command to zip up the binaries and headers for other team members. For more information, see [Export compiled binaries and headers](#export_binaries_per_project) below.

If you create a vcpkg clone with private libraries in the ports collection, you can add a port that downloads prebuilt binaries and headers and write a portfile.cmake file that simply copies those files to the desired location.
