Documentation · PyPI · Examples
Install
pip install conan-py-build
Quick start
- Set
conan-py-buildas your build backend:
[build-system]
requires = ["conan-py-build"]
build-backend = "conan_py_build.build"
[project]
name = "mypackage"
version = "0.1.0"
- Add a
conanfile.pywith your C++ dependencies:
from conan import ConanFile
from conan.tools.cmake import CMake, cmake_layout
class MyPackageConan(ConanFile):
name = "mypackage"
settings = "os", "compiler", "build_type", "arch"
generators = "CMakeToolchain", "CMakeDeps"
def layout(self):
cmake_layout(self)
def requirements(self):
self.requires("fmt/12.1.0")
def build(self):
cmake = CMake(self)
cmake.configure()
cmake.build()
def package(self):
cmake = CMake(self)
cmake.install()
- Your
CMakeLists.txtmust install the extension into the package directory so it ends up in the wheel:
install(TARGETS _core DESTINATION mypackage)
- Build:
pip wheel . -w dist/ -vvv
