conanex 0.4.0

Conan Extended C/C++ package manager

ConanEx - Conan Extended, conan that more decentralize

Overview

What it allows ?

Consider the following conanfile.txt:

[requires]

poco/1.9.4

#flatbuffers/2.0.0 { git = "https://github.com/google/flatbuffers", tag = "v2.0.0" }

#flatbuffers/2.0.0 { zip = "https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/archive/refs/tags/v2.0.0.zip" }

flatbuffers/2.0.0 { zip = "https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/archive/refs/tags/v2.0.0.tar.gz" }

#CTRE/3.6 { git = "https://github.com/hanickadot/compile-time-regular-expressions" }

CTRE/3.6 { path = "../../../../compile-time-regular-expressions" }

As you can see in this file we have 2 additional packages with custom url for packages

To use conanex use it the same way you use conan:

conanex install <path_to_conanfile.txt> -pr=<path_to_profile>

If you are using cmake-conan:

if(NOT EXISTS "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/conan.cmake")

    message(STATUS "Downloading conan.cmake from https://github.com/conan-io/cmake-conan")

    file(DOWNLOAD "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/conan-io/cmake-conan/0.18.1/conan.cmake"

         "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/conan.cmake"

         TLS_VERIFY ON)

endif()



include(${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/conan.cmake)



set(CONAN_COMMAND conanex)

conan_cmake_autodetect(settings)

conan_cmake_install(PATH_OR_REFERENCE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}

                    BUILD missing

                    REMOTE conancenter

                    SETTINGS ${settings})

Only thing you need is to specify set(CONAN_COMMAND conanex) before any conan command

Roadmap

Next I want to add the following syntax for external packages:

CTRE/3.6 { zip = "https://github.com/hanickadot/compile-time-regular-expressions/archive/refs/tags/v3.6.zip" }

CTRE/3.6 { zip = "https://github.com/hanickadot/compile-time-regular-expressions/archive/refs/tags/v3.6.tar.gz" }

CTRE/3.6 { zip = "https://github.com/hanickadot/compile-time-regular-expressions/archive/refs/tags/v3.6.tar.bz2" }

CTRE/3.6 { conan = "https://github.com/hanickadot/compile-time-regular-expressions/archive/refs/tags/v3.6.zip" }

CTRE/3.6 { conancenter = "<url>" }

CTRE/3.6 { path = "../" }
