Error: Building package bzip2:x86-windows failed with: BUILD_FAILED

Question

I'm new to vcpkg and I am trying to install gdal but it seems to fail while trying to install bzip2

when I run

.\vcpkg install bzip2

I get the following error message

The following packages will be built and installed: bzip2[core]:x86-windows Starting package 1/1: bzip2:x86-windows Building package bzip2[core]:x86-windows... -- Downloading http://www.bzip.org/1.0.6/bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz... -- Downloading http://www.bzip.org/1.0.6/bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz...
