Conan Packaging Recipes

This repository contains several Conan recipes. It was developed with the primary aim of packaging https://github.com/grpc/grpc but might grow in scope in the future.

Prerequisites

These recipes have been tested on Debian GNU/Linux "bullseye" (currently in testing phase) using the native GCC 9.3.0 toolchain and CMake 3.16.3 .

Conan 1.24.1 installed via pip3.

Building

$ cd recipes/abseil
$ conan create . abseil/20200225.2@signbit/testing
$ cd ../protoc_installer
$ conan create . protoc_installer/3.11.4@signbit/testing
$ cd ../grpc
$ conan create . grpc/1.28.1@signbit/testing

Feel free to substitute your own channel for "signbit/testing", just make sure you adapt the test recipes.

Testing

$ cd tests
# abseil
$ mkdir abseil.build
$ cd abseil.build
$ conan install ../abseil
$ cmake ../abseil
$ cmake --build .
$ ./test1
