cmake-conan

CMake wrapper for the Conan C and C++ package manager.

This cmake module allows to launch conan install from cmake.

The branches in this repo are:

• develop: PR are merged to this branch. Latest state of development
• master: Latest release
• tagged releases: https://github.com/conan-io/cmake-conan/releases.

You probably want to use a tagged release to ensure controlled upgrades.

You can just clone or grab the conan.cmake file and put in in your project. Or it can be used in this way. Note the v0.8 tag in the URL, change it to point to your desired release:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(myproject CXX)

# Download automatically, you can also just copy the conan.cmake file
if(NOT EXISTS "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/conan.cmake")
   message(STATUS "Downloading conan.cmake from https://github.com/conan-io/cmake-conan")
   file(DOWNLOAD "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/conan-io/cmake-conan/v0.8/conan.cmake"
                 "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/conan.cmake")
endif()

include(${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/conan.cmake)

conan_cmake_run(REQUIRES Hello/0.1@memsharded/testing
                BASIC_SETUP 
                BUILD missing)

add_executable(main main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(main ${CONAN_LIBS})

If you want to use targets, you could do:

include(conan.cmake)
conan_cmake_run(REQUIRES Hello/0.1@memsharded/testing
                BASIC_SETUP CMAKE_TARGETS
                BUILD missing)

add_executable(main main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(main CONAN_PKG::Hello)

If you want to use your own conanfile.txt or conanfile.py instead of generating a temporary one, you could do:

include(conan.cmake)
conan_cmake_run(CONANFILE conanfile.txt  # or relative build/conanfile.txt
                BASIC_SETUP CMAKE_TARGETS
                BUILD missing)

The resolution of the path will be relative to the root CMakeLists.txt file.

To use the cmake_multi generator you just need to make sure CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is empty and use a CMake generator that supports multi-configuration.

Please check the source code for other options and arguments.

There are some tests, you can run in python, with nosetests, for example:

$ nosetests . --nocapture
