CMake integration
CMake is widely used in C++ projects for its powerful scripting capabilities and cross-platform support. Integrating Conan with CMake can significantly streamline the process of managing dependencies. Here’s how you can achieve this integration:
- Conan CMake wrapper: Conan provides a CMake wrapper script that automates the integration. To use it, include the
conanbuildinfo.cmake
file generated by Conan in your project’sCMakeLists.txt
:include(${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/conanbuildinfo.cmake)
conan_basic_setup(TARGETS)
This script sets up the necessary
include
paths and library paths, and defines the dependencies managed by Conan, making them available to your CMake project. - Using targets: The
TARGETS
option inconan_basic_setup()
generates CMake targets for your Conan dependencies, allowing you to link against them using thetarget_link_libraries()
function in CMake:target_link_libraries(my_project_target CONAN_PKG::poco)
This approach provides a clean...
