conan-recipes

This is a staging repo for a couple of conan recipes I'm trying out in order to get a feel for conan.

Quickstart

Prepare a virtualenv/venv

Create a virtualenv (or venv if you are using Python > 3.3).

Inside the virtualenv:

pip install conan
pip install conan-package-tools

(Optional) Create a conan profile

I generally create a conan profile to switch between toolchains. Here is a conan profile for an llvm toolchain:

conan profile show conan-clang
Configuration for profile conan-clang:

[settings]
compiler=clang
compiler.version=7.0
compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11
arch=x86_64
arch_build=x86_64
os=Linux
os_build=Linux
[options]
[build_requires]
[env]
CC=clang
CXX=clang++

(You can see the settings that are available in ~/.conan/settings.yml.)

Additionally, you may want to check that you have suitable conan remotes to fetch packages that you depend on. For example:

conan remote list
# returns:
conan-center: https://conan.bintray.com [Verify SSL: True]
bincrafters: https://api.bintray.com/conan/bincrafters/public-conan [Verify SSL: True]

Create packages from the recipes

For example, for the leveldb package run this from the conan-leveldb recipe directory:

conan create . jjkoshy/stable -pr conan-clang --build missing

Use a similar command for the other packages, although some recipes depend on the others. E.g., you would need to create the leveldb package before creating the brpc package.

Customize options either in the recipe or conanfile.txt or command line like so: conan install . -o pkg_name:opt=optval ...
