Installing with Conan

To install D++ into a project using conan 2.0 and cmake:

• Ensure conan is correctly installed, the most popular method is with pip.
• Create a conanfile.txt in the root of the project.

[requires]
dpp/10.0.34
 
[generators]
CMakeDeps
CMakeToolchain

• You may now use the library within a CMake based project by adding instructions such as these to your CMakeLists.txt:

set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH  "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/build")
find_package(dpp CONFIG REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} dpp::dpp)

• If you recieve any errors about CXX version you may need to set it

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)

• You will then also want to set your build type to match what you will be using in conan(Debug or Release)

set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Debug)

OR

set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release)

• Now run the following commands

mkdir build
conan install . --output-folder=build --build=missing -s build_type=Release
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="conan_toolchain.cmake"
cmake --build build --config Release

• NOTE: build_type= needs to match whatever was set in your CMake or you will get linker issues.
