The code for this recipe is available at https://github.com/dev-cafe/cmake-cookbook/tree/v1.0/chapter-11/recipe-04. The recipe is valid with CMake version 3.5 (and higher) and has been tested on GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows.
While PyPI is a standard and popular platform to distribute Python packages, Anaconda (https://anaconda.org) is more general in the sense that it allows to not only distribute Python or mixed-language projects with a Python interface but also allows packaging and dependency management for non-Python projects. In this recipe, we will prepare a Conda package for a very simple C++ example project configured and built using CMake without dependencies other than C++. In the next recipe, we will prepare and discuss a more complex Conda package.
