+- Set `BUILD_GUI` to `ON`.
+- Set `WITH_QRENCODE` to `OFF`, due to known build issues when using vcpkg's `libqrencode` package.

 ## Building
 
 CMake will put the resulting object files, libraries, and executables into a dedicated build directory.
 
 In the following instructions, the "Debug" configuration can be specified instead of the "Release" one.
